OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #265

No Comments

A little bit delayed new music weekly. I was pretty worn out this weekend, but here’s what I managed to put together.

Jake Nicoll’s new EP is probably my favorite international release of the week. Loved the single called Personality few weeks back and this whole EP is gorgeous. We also have albums from Liquid Mike, the Montvales, The Roseline, Sea Dramas, Britti, Lance Howell, J Mascis, Kim Krans, Dominick & The Family, Lonny (EP), Daniel Young and Luke Callen.

The Finnish part is led by the new album from all-time faves Penniless. There’s also an album from Sepikka plus singles from Joonas Hauveli, Jere Ijäs ja Monacon Työväen Palloilijat, Modem, Tumma Paahto, Iisa feat Antti Autio and Klara LaFleur,

International single of the is the new Hello Emerson song. Other early faves came from Vanessa Peters, Frontier Ruckus, ROY, BMX Bandits, Lost Dog Street Band, Rachel Baiman feat Pony Bradshaw and Leyla McCalla. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all helps and matters while I ponder the essence of life and this playlist. Back again next week with another of these things. Not sure about the time frame, because I have winter vacation and there’s the Super Bowl too. So might go even until Monday. I have no idea. Until then. Love love love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #264

No Comments

I had busy weekend, but here’s a quick new music weekly.

The album of the week is the new Willi Carlisle. Easily could be album of the year too, but let’s not decide that in January. Other great album releases this came week came from Matt Mitchell Music Co, Ismay, Gabi Hartmann (EP), Katy Kirby, Mol Sullivan, The Umbrellas, Sarah Jarosz, Spencer Burton, Chatman County Line and William Elliot Whitmore.

The Finnish highlight is the new Mikko Joensuu album. There’s also a beautiful album from Emilia Tuovila ja Väijytys and singles from Ilja Karsikas & Erik Bäckman and Ptak. Oh and worth mentioning on this section is also the single from Berlin-based The Usual Boys, because they are 1/4 Finnish.

Other early faves came from Charley Crockett, Jason Hawk Harris, Mythical Motors, Liquid Mike, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Christopher Paul Stelling, The Wannadies, Nathan Kalish, Thee Sinseers and so forth. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. I forgot to cancel Apple, so this is still a multi-platform monster and available on Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, Apple and YouTube. Now time to vote and later on NFL playoffs. See you next week with another episode. Love love love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #263

No Comments

A really sad week in the music media with the Pitchfork layoffs and a merge with a damn men’s magazine. A real add to insult there. Solidarity for all the great writers who lost their job. Hopefully the remaining ones are still allowed to highlight some less household names too.

Album of the week is the great new country beauty from Shawn Hess. New Clay Parker and Jodi James is another big fave. Then there’s also great new albums from Brown Horse, Mali Obomsawin & Magdalena Abrego, Lizzie No, Doug Paisley, Ryan Power, Swimming Bell, The Maureens, Green Day (surprised to see Green Day here? I know I am but had to share this pop beauty from their new album), Old Heavy Hands and Colby T. Helms.

A big Finnish release week led by new albums from Inginmaa/Hypnomen and Kielo Kärkkäinen. I love them both. New Teini-Pää song also pure gold as usual. Other Finnish gems of the week are albums from Pekka Nisu and Karlo Haapiainen & Varaslähtö plus singles from Oho!, Pieni Maailma, Rebekka Holi, Pink Chameleons, SaintPolis, Ruissalo Amping and M.

And finally the international singles. Maybe not a clear cut song of the week, but there’s plenty of great ones from Sierra Ferrell, Jamie Lin Wilson, Lana Nauphal, Leslie Stevens, Lance Howell, Adrianne Lenker, Pernice Brothers, Sam Evian, Eric Long, Adam Ross and so forth. Just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Remember that this is now on Qobuz at least for three more weeks. Actually it’s also on YouTube now. I’m not sure should it be there, but looks like someone had already transferred older episodes there so I guess it doesn’t matter if I do it myself too. This new music weekly is a real multi-platform monster right now. Anyway, Now back to NFL playoffs and back here next week unless some venture capitalist buys this for one million dollars. Love love love.
