OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #127

Another week, another new music weekly.

This one is a big week, because we got new albums from Melissa Carper and Michael Feuerstack. I love these records and I can guarantee you will find them from my EOTY lists if this blog and world still exists at the end of 2021. That’s obviously not all and there’s also great new releases from Janet Simpson, Emmett Morris (EP), Sarah King (EP), Son of the Velvet Rat, Joe Pug (Only side A on streaming services), The Bones of J.R. Jones (EP), New Bums, Loretta Lynn, Nuevo, Becca Mancari (EP), Morgan Wade and The Golden Roses.

A rather excellent release week here in Finland too, because we got new albums from Litku Klemetti, Pekka Laine, Väisänen and AK-77 plus an EP from V.Härkönen. The playlist also has the new Matti single.

And last but not least the international singles. A new favorite Chris Acker released a new single as did the all-time faves Teenage Fanclub. A new find of the week for me was Cassidy Snider & The Wranglers. I really liked that single and I’m eager to hear more. My favorite Tasmanians Quivers signed a deal with the coolest labels Bobo Integral and Ba Da Bing and announced a new album. Libby DeCamp released another magical song as did Charlie Marie. Zach Schmidt returned with a new single and so forth. If you want something a bit different, that Sweet Megg & Ricky Alexander is very charming. There’s also the new Shonna Tucker song that has been on Bandcamp a while. If it has been on Spotify before, I have missed it. And of course I might as well namedrop em all, but you’ll find them below.

That’s all for this week. I know I forgot something. Happens every week these days. Some might take that as a hint and quit, but I suppose I’m too stubborn. Love from a distance.

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #126

Another week, another new music weekly.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and Vivian Leva & Riley Calcagno albums and that Dan Wriggins EP were my most anticipated ones this week, but we also got great new releases from Melody Duncan (I wasn’t familiar before but I really like this on quick listen), Max and the Martians, Cameron Knowles & Eli Winter, Rodeola, Kelly McFarling, Ty Maxon, Valerie June, Christian Lee Hutson (Version Suicides vol 2 EP streaming now), Israel Nash and David Ramirez (hymns). Also featured Mark Pickerel’s cover album that I missed earlier in the year.

The big one from Finland is the wonderful single from Laura Moisio. Other gorgeous Finnish cuts this weeks are singles from Punomo, Eerie Deer, Eden Prairie, New Silver Girl and Maria Milvus. Plus a revisit to Janne Laurila’s solo album from the past week.

And then there’s lots of fabulous international singles. The big news for were the album announcements and first singles from Evan Cheadle and Turner Cody & The Soldiers of Love. I’m also totally in love with the Esther Rose and Johanna Samuels (Elliot Smith cover) singles. That Esther Rose song is probably one of my favorite songs of the whole year so far. Some other favorites came from Renee Reed, Hiss Golden Messenger, Greg Loiacono & Jamie Drake, Kirty, Louien and Nick Jaina. A completely new one for me was Route 500, but I’m very fond of that song. I need to investigate that further. And as usual I could namedrop of them all and the further listening will even tell which become most important to me. Oh yeah and one of my favorites of the week was this song by Keven Louis Lareau, but that is only on Bandcamp.

That’s it for this week. I’ll probably remember something as soon as I have posted it, so I might make some additions tomorrow. Love from a distance.

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #125

Another week, another new music weekly.

Kind of tough week at the day job, so the week kind of flew by. However, I even surprised myself by doing a one short small blog entry that was not a playlist. Nothing to celebrate, but hey at least it’s more than what I’ve done lately and hopefully it won’t be a one-off thing. At least I have another one coming next week with some recent country favorites. This weekly playlist also reached 400 followers last week (at least temporarily), which was nice. This won’t ever be viral and it doesn’t need to be but I still admit that it’s nice when that number slowly rises. Gives some extra motivation to keep on spending hours on this every weekend. So please do hit that follow button, if you like what I do here. Anyway, enough of the mumbo jumbo and on to the new music weekly.

Fruit Bats, Jay Gonzalez and Daniel Markham led the way this week. Other big album releases came from Adult Mom, Ian Daniel Kehoe (second of his 2020 bandcamp album releases now streaming too), Sara Renberg, Painted Shrines, Jimbo Mathus and Andrew Bird, Bernice, Elizabeth & The Catapult, Megan Lacy (EP), Garrison Starr, Jackie Darlene, Carl Anderson (EP), Jason Ringenberg and Leon III. Oh yeah and that excellent Wake Up album is a few weeks old. I just found it a week ago thanks to Greg from the legendary Captains Dead blog. And as usual the playlist revisits a few albums from the past week.

The big Finnish thing is the double album release from Janne Laurila. There’s both a solo album and a colloboration album with the almighty Hot Heros. Both are extremely highly recommended. Other Finnish cuts this week are the singles from Anne-Mari Kivimäki ja Palomylly and The Flaming Sideburns.

There was so much to love on the international singles front. The wonderful new Jeffrey Martin single was probably my favorite of the week, but I also really love the new singles by Damien Jurado, Tristen, Fiver, Maxwell Stern, Michael Feuerstack, Annie Oakley, John Andrews and the Yawns, Jesse Aycock, Max and the Martians, Jerry Leger, Tasha just to name a few. You’ll find them all below.

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

OCTA Music Weekly – Episode #124

Another week, another new music weekly.

Things are heating up. Not a chance to have enough time to listen everything before making this. So there might be some good stuff missing. Actually I even intentionally left out some very good singles, because this is already longer than anyone will listen.

My favorite release of the week is the new EP by Clara Mann. One of my favorite things is finding new favorite artists and some months ago Clara Mann won my heart over during my first listen of her debut single. Now the full EP is here and it’s such a beauty. Some other big ones that I had highlighted were new albums by Chris Pierce, Karima Walker, Randolph’s Leap and Dan Edmonds. But there’s also so much more and most of these sounded great on quick listen and might become even more important when I have some time to properly listen to them. There’s new albums from Sara Petite, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, Charley Crockett, David Huckfelt, Mando Saenz, Bobby Dove (this ones a couple weeks old, but I just got the memo and I’m falling in love fast), Simon Flory, Ben Trickey, Julien Baker, Craig Finn (RSD release now streaming too), Graham Hunt, Quivers (R.E.M. Cover album), Mikey Erg (maybe not the kind of stuff I share a lot these days, but hell yeah this is awesome), Mo Kenney (Covers record) and Nick Cave & Warren Ellis.

On the Finnish side of things, we got albums from Antero Kaksikäsi, Black Twig, Iisa and Markus Perttula. There’s also singles from Vino Puu and Kynnet. Oh yeah and a few weeks old one from AK-77. It’s actually a cover of Cajun Moon and it caught my eye/ear when a FB friend (thanks Satu) posted it. I was curious even before hitting play, because they had turned Cajun into Keuruu and well I’m originally from Keuruu. Which was nice, but of course the fact that it mentions Keuruu is just a little bonus and the main thing is that it’s a great version.

And then the international singles. The big one here is the first single from the next Vanessa Peters album Modern Age that will drop into to the record stores and our hearts on the 23rd of April. Other personal favorites are the new singles from Vandoliers, Charlie Marie, Melissa Carper (again so great, it’s going to be one hell of a record), Leanne Betamosake Simpson, Dan Wriggins just to name a few. You’ll find them all below.

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