Another week, another weekly playlist.

I did this rather quickly tonight, because tomorrow I will go to Helsinki for the Laura Gibson concert. Don’t miss it. I’m sure it’s going to be special. Otherwise the blog is a bit on hold at the moment, because I’m just too heartbroken to concentrate on it.

This week gave new albums from Hallelujah the Hills, VanWyck, Bonnie Prince Billy, Arthur Russell, Smug Brothers, Tindersticks, Fran and Joe Henry. Friendship and Romantic States are slightly older and Little Mazarn is a whole lot older, but I missed them earlier in 2019.

Finland section contains album from Baby Sweetcorn, EPs from Treemer, Nina Kaitajärvi and Merriment and Dirt and singles from Tuomo & Markus, Viinamäki and Nelijalka.

The single of the week is the new one from the forthcoming Micah Schnabel. The playlist also contains great new singles from Mo Troper, MAITA, David Dondero, Maija Sofia, Andy Shauf and much more.

Playlist link

Oh and do buy the vinyl/cd/download. Spotify and other streaming services are perfect for these introductory purposes, but try to buy at least the music that matter the most to you

If you are looking this after a week has gone, the embedded Spotify will show the latest playlist. I’ll just update the same playlist because a) if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each Sunday b) so that I don’t have a trillion of different playlists on my Spotify account.

Another week, another weekly playlist.

Just a quick weekly round-up. It’s been a hard week and this blog is not my priority at the moment. I know I missed a lot of stuff, but here are the songs/albums that carried me through this week.

Another week, another weekly playlist.

Approaching the end of the year, but there’s still lots of great music to come. So let’s wait at least for another month before starting to compile the year-end lists. The new albums from long-time favourite Vetiver and quite new favourite Erin Enderlin were probably my most anticipated releases this week, but that’s just a tiny fraction of all the action. There’s new albums from Ags Connolly, Wished Bone, Itasca, Matthew Ryan (well not sure does this count as a proper album, but it compiles his 2019 EPs together and it’s wonderful), Michael Kiwanuka, Leif Vollebekk, Jeffrey Lewis & Voltage, The Deer, Bobby Hawk, Piney Gir, Signe Marie Rustad and Grace Cummings. Plus a great EP from Flora Hibberd.

The new Finnish albums featured on this playlist are from Lehtojärven Hirvenpää and STINAKO. Plus Maustetytöt reappears with another song. There’s also wonderful new singles from Laura Moisio, Arppa, Hot Heros & Janne Laurila and Spring Teeth. I missed the first Arppa single earlier in the year, so make sure you check it out too if you like this second single. And thanks to Mikko for the introduction.

The international single of the week is the new one from The Innocence Mission. Love it so much. Other big ones were the new one from Quivers, Hallelujah The Hills and the surprise return single from the great A Girl Called Eddy. Of course everything else would also be worth of a namedrop.

That’s all for this week. Love love love.

Another week, another weekly playlist.

Another week also kind of slipped by. I’m a hopeless case of kid in denial. Now sligthly flu-ish and fever-ish too. But here’s at least the playlist. Things are slowing down a bit on the release front, but there’s still lot to love.

This week gave new album from Little Scream, Nick Nace, Simon Joyner, Allison Moorer, Ancient Shapes, Extra Arms, Daystar, Amy O, Theo Lawrence, Jason Sinkhorn, Jim Sullivan (reissue that I don’t usually feature them on this list, but it felt hard to leave this one out), Ben McKenzie, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Leaf Library and Mikal Cronin. Slow Healer has been out for a week or so, but first time on this playlist. I had a song from the EP earlier.

On the Finnish side of things, we got the debut album from Maustetytöt. It’s a great record and worth the hype. Also superb that the vinyl sold so well (because this is Spotify is great for introduction, but buying music is what really matters). Nice to heart that physical records still have other purpose than to fill that empty space under the publisher’s bed. The Finland section also contains new singles from Treemer (new band from ex-Pansies!) and PK Keränen (solo single). Plus a song from the Kalle Konnuslahti & Tremolo album that I somehow managed to miss a couple of weeks ago.

A bunch of wonderful international singles too. I’m a big Andy Shauf fan so his first single from a new album starts the whole list. There’s also new Itasca, David Myhr, Ags Connolly, David Dondero and so forth. Again everything would be worth of a namedrop, but you’ll find them from the list below.
