Here we are again with another episode of this crazy project. Not on Apple Music anymore though. So just Tidal and Spotify at least for now. And well YouTube, but I haven’t really promoted that much. But someone else had transferred them there, so I might as well do that myself. Feel free to transfer this yourself too wherever you want, if you are using a different platform but want to listen this new music weekly.
I can’t really pick one this week, so Desiree Cannon, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Vanessa Peters can share the album of the week honors. All great albums. Other new albums this week came from Mary Timony, Apollo Ghosts (EP), Real Estate, Leslie Stevens, Andrew Jobin, Amigo the Devil, Bill Fay Group (reissue) and Wharfer.
My favorite new Finnish releases are the great new single from Nightbird and the awesome new albums from Ruissalo Amping and Kot-kat. A really good Finnish music week altogether, because there’s also beautiful new singles from V.Härkönen, Kaspar, The Southgates, Haaveet, Otto Mikkola & Pitkä Ikävä, Punomo and Pykäri.
The international song of the week is the new one from Hello Emerson. What a beauty of a song and the music video is also very special. Absolute love everything about it. Other big early faves came from Drew Beskin, Quinn Pilgrim, Ken Pomeroy, Loose Collars, Golden Everything, Pernice Brothers feat Neko Case and AC Sapphire. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. All of it matters, if you want this to continue. Whether it’s worth it to continue making this playlist is a weekly internal battle between my brain and heart. So far heart has won, but brain keeps throwings curve balls full of self-doubt. Love and all.

A few Bandcamp cuts for the lovely non-streamers:
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.
