OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #291

No Comments

Here we are again. No excuses this time around. I was actually at home for the weekend.

Album of the week is the new one from Quivers. I’ve been a fan since I heard the debut single Pigeons and this new one is again such a treasure. Other great album releases came from Maxwell Stern, The Martial Arts, Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters, Futurebirds, Skylar Gudasz, R.R. Williams, Good Good Blood, Jake McKelvie, Justin Townes Earle (rarities comp), Good Good Blood, Jason Sinkhorn (EP), Guidon Bear, Forest Fallows, Real Companion, TW Walsh, Cowgirl and Share.

New single from Susanna Leppänen is my Finnish pick this week. Other homeland cuts are singles from AK-77, Jukka Takalo and an album from Custody (this came out in April, but I got the memo few days ago. Good stuff though, so better to include it now than never).

International single of the week is the awesome new Adeline Hotel song. Also really loved the new ones from Abe Partridge and Adam Remnant. Some other early faves came from Andrew Gabbard, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Jacksonport, Best Bets, Young Scum, Noeline Hofmann.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with another of these things. Love love love.

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

I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to other platforms. This means a few tracks might be missing from the from the other platforms, if they are not available there. Oh and there’s a bunch of older episodes on my Spotify profile, if you miss an episode or want to revisit.

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 if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each weekend.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #289

No Comments

I was going to skip this weekend, but got sudden burst of inspiration and made this late on Sunday night. So here’s a very quick new music weekly.

There’s new albums from American Aquarium, Charley Crockett, Jack M. Senff, Roger Bryan and the Orphans (EP), Sinai Vessel, Little Mystery, Nick Delffs, MAITA, Trevor Beld Jimenez, Ted Barber, Holly Arrowsmith, Lasers Lasers Birmingham, Hubbell Benson (EP), Alex Izenberg, Ben Seretan, Marley Hale (EP), The Red Clay Strays, Casey Neill, Nightshift.

Finnish part has a new EP from Jenna-Marie Laine plus singles from Station Approach and Miika Leivo. And I featured a couple of 2023 releases too, because they are new to me. These are Itcevät EP and Oujee single. I saw them live last night (well not Oujee actually, that was solo performance from Albert Koski) and really liked both of them (Tender Lakes too, but I’ve had them here several times). I listened the recorded output today and liked that a lot too, so I included them here this week even though they might not fully fit under the new music category. But yeah obviously music is relevant whenever it hits your heart and not just around the release date.

There’s also a whole lot of international singles. Some early faves came from Erisy Watt, Icarus Phoenix, Bob Sumner, Benjamin Tod, Caleb Caudle, Jack Barksdale, Casual Technicians.. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. I hope I didn’t forget too much, because I made this very quickly. Back next week with hopefully a bit more thorough look at the new music. Love love love.
