OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #143

Another week, another new music weekly.

Sorry for being so lazy during my vacation. I had plans to do more blog stuff, but the heatwave got to me and I didn’t get much done. Hopefully I’ll manage to do more on the second part of the vacation in September when the blog hits 20 as well. Anyway, let’s at least do this weekly post, because there’s lots of big album and single releases this week.

The album of the week for me is the new Andrew Bryant album A Meaningful Connection. I’m a long time fan and absolute love this new album. Another big one for me is the second album from Jeremy Ferrara. That’s not all though and we also got excellent new albums from Shaela Miller, Anne Soldaat, Wild Earp, Ben Reddell Band and Babehoven.

The Finnish section only has two great singles from Teini-Pää and Keidas. I’m sure there had to more.

And last but not least the international (should-be) hits. There’s so much to love here. We got the first singles from forthcoming albums by Riddy Arman, Margo Cilker, TK & The Holy Know-Nothings, Strand of Oaks and Charley Crockett. Kind of a big deal if you ask me. There’s also further magic from forthcoming Josienne Clarke, Scott Hirsch, Kate Vargas and Jeremy Squires albums. Oh and that Apollo Flowerchild single is pure gold and we also got some pop heaven in the middle from the likes of Motorists and Ducks Ltd. Also a new from from the Swiss giants Black Sea Dahu, first one from the Mercy Bell EP and a whole lot more. Too much to mention them all here, but you’ll find them below.

That’s all for now. Love from a distance.

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #142

Another week, another new music weekly.

I’ve been on vacation mode and I might have missed a thing or two. Plus I’ve been completely obsessed with that Hurry album that came out last week and have listened to it countless amount of hours. Maybe this is still pop blog and I’m still a pop kid (or well pop middle-age man). I also did some mid-year lists earlier in the week, so check out that post if you want to know what I’ve loved during the first half of the year. Besides that Hurry album. But let’s stop this intro chat and go into the new releases. Looks like a bit slower one after last week’s monster week. No suprise though, because the July 4th week seem to always be a slow release week. But we did get some albums that I’m very excited about.

The key album release trio for me is from long time favorites Huck Notari, Drew Beskin and Michael James Tapscott. I’m a big fan of all of them and their new albums seem wonderful on quick listen. The big new find for me is a UK pop band called Mt. Misery. Their album came out a week ago, but I found it today thanks to John Jervis and have been loving it a lot. There’s also a new album from Flatland Cavalry and that is definitely something that I need to give a listen.

From Finland, we’ll have a new EP from Kami Mate and rarities collection from Eerie Deer. Plus singles from Räjäyttäjät, J.A. Mäki and Pekko Käppi & K:H:H:L.. I also included Anton Haring single that I forgot to put on this a few weeks ago. There was probably more..

Plenty of international hit singles too. The Pines at Night single is now streaming too and It’s a great one from Matthew Ryan. Icarus Phoenix, Jeremy Ferrara, Yola and Jesse Daniel continue to charm. Then there’s new RF Shannon, Miss Tess, Elijah Ocean, Reb Fountain, Nick Jaina (full album already on Bandcamp, so check that out) and The Feels. Again just to name few. You’ll find them all from the list below.

That’s all for this week. Love from a distance.

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #141

Another week, another new music weekly.

This week was special. If you want to make EOTY list in December, you can make a pretty amazing top 10 just by using albums that were released on 25th of June. I’m sure I missed a ton completely and fair to say that I’ve only scratched the surface of the ones that I was aware of and did include on this post. Anyway, I tried my best to compile some sort of playlist out of these awesome releases, so let’s dive into the new music of the week.

I think it starts with the new Flora Hibberd album for me, because I’ve become such a big fan during the past year. However, picking early favorites is pretty impossible, because there’s like a dozen albums here that might become very dear to me. There’s new albums from Vincent Neil Emerson, Hiss Golden Messenger, Dana Sipos, Rose City Band (only singles on Spotify, so visit Bandcamp or record store to get the full experience. A wise thing to do with any record on any playlist of course), T. Hardy Morris, Lucy Dacus, Maple Glider, Michael Cormier, Faye Webster, Dawn Riding, Squirrel Flower, Anna Ash (EP), Massage, Hurry, 2nd Grade, The Mountain Goats, JP Harris’ Dreadful Wind & Rain, Cedric Burnside, Spellling, Pom Pom Squad, Katherine Priddy, Jesse Marchant and GoldenOak. Was that everything. God only knows.

The Finns usually dedicate midsummer for getting drunk at a summer cottage, but we did get run of fabulous singles from Bad Sauna, M, Epilä (missed this last week), The Lovematches and Muuan Mies.

Oh and let’s not forget the international, because there’s plenty of gold here. I think my favorite here is Carlene’s first single, because a) it’s wonderful b) I’ve been wanting to hear new music from Carly Maicher for a decade. New singles and album announcements from Anna Tivel and Tre Burt are also really big deal and something that I love wholeheartedly. The latest one from Andrew Bryant is pure gold too and so are the singles by Dolly Valentine, Stranded Horse, Matthew McNeal, Tim Easton, Leah Blevins, Caitlin Jemma and Sierra Ferrell. Again just to name a few. You’ll find them all below.

That’s all for this week. I’m on vacation from the day job for the next two weeks. A large chunk of that will be dedicated to resting and watching football, but I try to do some blog stuff too now that I have the time. At least a few of those round up thingies and maybe some sort of quick mid-year list too. Love from a distance.

1. Flora Hibberd – Archipelago II (Hold, 2021)
2. Carlene – Time Passes (single, 2021)
3. Dana Sipos – A Crude Likeness (The Astral Plane, Roaring Girl Records, 2021)

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #140

Another week, another new music weekly.

A slightly behind schedule this week. I was just too worn out to do this yesterday. Thankfully just one week to go until vacation (albeit a pretty hell-ish week due to the midsummer hassle in the potato and vegetable industry). After that I’ll rest and hopefully do some blog stuff. Maybe like a mid-year list of some sorts, because I haven’t praised enough music outside of these new music weeklies. And I suppose I need to decide whether I want to celebrate that 20 years of music blogging. I think I’m leaning towards no, because it might be too much to handle in the shape that I’ve been for the past year and this also doesn’t feel like the time to ask free favors from artists (whether it would be live or online, it’s not like I have any money to spent on it). Anyway, time to dive into the new music of the week.

My album of the week is the new Joe Bourdet album Meadow Rock. A real special one there for sure. Other wonderful album releases this week came from K.C. Jones, Jess Jocoy (EP), Amythyst Kiah, Daniel Romano’s Outfit (live record, vinyl later), Country Westerns (EP), Nick Ferrio (Canadian liner note hero released a great album of his own music), Kings of Convenience (a most welcome comeback, quiet is still the new loud), Lady Nade, Mr. Husband, Amy Helm, Dylan LeBlanc, Darby Sparkman (EP) andJack Droppers & The Best Intentions.

The Finnish highlight of the week is the long-waited debut album from Tams. Other beautiful Finnish treasures on the list are singles from Arppa, Jukka Nissinen, J.Kajan, Itä-Hollola Installaatio and album from Pykäri.

The international song of the week is the new song by Matthew Milia. He is probably my favorite songwriter of the past decade and therefore this new album announcement is a big deal for me. The new song is not on Spotify, so you won’t find it from the playlist. However, you’ll find Salad Bars from Bandcamp with pre-order possibilities. The other big single for me this week is the second single from Jeremy Ferrara’s forthcoming album. This one is even better than the first time. And of course there’s far more from such great artists like Rose City Band, Drew Beskin,Rod Gator, Justin Wells, Kate Vargas, Ryan Curtis, Darrin Bradbury, Theo Lawrence, Spencer Cullum, T.Hardy Morris, Judy Blank & Dylan Earl, Jackie Venson, Kyle Cox & Franc Castillejos and Margo Price (Roky cover). Just to name a few.

That’s all for this week. Love from a distance.
