OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #281

No Comments

Another quick new music weekly. I probably should put more effort to these. Thankfully it was a bit less crowded week due to memorial day weekend in the US.

The Pearlfishers and Adam Ross can share the album of the week honors. Some great pop albums there. This week we also have new albums from Yea-Ming and the Rumours, Motorists, Bess Atwell, Dolour, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Gregory Ackerman (EP), Wyatt C. Louis, Kim Richey, Lana Nauphal, Steel Fringe (EP), La Luz, Sweet Megg and Bill MacKay. Memorial and Wesley Fuller have been out for a while, but I just lately discovered and therefore first time here.

The album from Leija Lautamaja is the big Finnish treasure of the week. Such a magnificent album. Also very fond of the new Sonja Selene single. Loved the first one and same feeling applies here too. There’s also great new singles from Rosita Luu, Kari Tapiiri, Pelko, Rättö & Lehtisalo, Eidetic Dreams, Ville Rauhala and Hullu Pappila.

And from the international single category there’s a whole lot of good ones too. Some early faves came from BenBen, Carson McHone, Asher Kartman (a week or two old), Marina Allen, Sinai Vessel, Pete Posie, Marley Hale, The Bird Calls.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next weekend schedule is still a bit of a blur, but there probably will be a new weekly somewhere along the way. We’ll see. Love and other beautiful things.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #280

No Comments

I was away for the weekend, but here’s a very quick new music weekly.

The Finnish part of this is led by excellent new Kaspar album and the awe-inspiring debut single from Olva. I’m kinda madly in love with that song Mehiläisille. I mean oh my.. everything about that song. One of my favorite songs of 2024 altogether. What a way to start. Can’t wait to hear more.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #279

No Comments

A bit delayed new music weekly once again, but here it finally is.

New Myriam Gendron is the album of the week. Other big early faves are the new ones from Josienne Clarke, Jake Nicoll and Jackie West. Then there’s also great new albums from Pokey LaFarge, Abigail Lapell, Chris Kasper, Todd Farrell Jr (bandcamp last week, now streaming too), Kelsey Waldon, Shannon & The Clams, Stripmall Ballads (EP), Amy O, Austin Miller, Alice Carolyn, Stephen’s Shore (EP) and Arlo McKinley (EP).

The Finnish section is quite short this time around, but it’s still a really special one. ITE EEROLA is probably my absolute favorite songwriter these days and the first single from the forthcoming album is again wonderful. Simple and bare, but at the same time very powerful. Love it to bits. There’s also a new single from Hattara and I love them too. This dream pop / shoegaze band is one of my fave new bands and every song so far has been a winner. This one is not an exception. So good and can’t wait to hear more from them. There’s also a great new album from Kaksipäinen koira and singles from Helmi Ada and Cats of Transnistria plus a few revisits from the past week at the end (Nightbird and Amuri).

New Eamon Fogarty is the international song of the week. That’s going to be such a magnificent album. Other early single faves came from New Starts (Darren Hayman’s new thing), Quivers, Erin Rae, Yea-Ming and The Rumours, Rachel Brooke, Dominic Angelella, Hello Shark and many others.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week at some point. A pretty busy weekend, so don’t know when exactly. Love love love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #278

No Comments

A big release week once again and there’s all kinds of greatness both from Finland and abroad.

New Adeem the Artist has to be the album of the week. Otherwise Cuppy will be cross with me and I don’t want to upset the employee of the month. But yeah, love that record for sure. Other big album releases came from Mac Cornish, Emily Nenni, The Lemon Twigs, Jon McKiel, Mammoth Penguins, Jessica Pratt, The Deep Dark Woods, Emily Barker, Cara Beth Satalino, Noel McKay, Jay Gavin, Tylor & The Train Robbers, Nathan Kalish (EP), Jonah Sissoyev (EP), Spencer Hoffman (EP), Camera Obscura and Extra Arms.

The Finnish section has a couple of huge album releases from Nightbird and Amuri. I love both and you will surely find them from the EOTY lists at the end of 2024. We also have a great new album from HXA and a run of singles from Luhtaniitty, Toinen Maisema, Jari Raaste, Vellamo, Pitkä Juoksu, Pink Chameleons and Leija Lautamaja feat Pekko Käppi. Plus new Jukka Nissinen single from the last week, because I messed up and forgot to include it then. Shame on me.

New Melissa Carper can be the international single of the week. Other early faves came from American Aquarium, Luka Kuplowsky, India Ramey, Bella White (Ted Lucas cover), MAITA, The Bird Calls, Nick Delffs, Gabriel Birnbaum and Sam and Louise Sullivan… Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. I paid the domain bill, so I guess you lovely people are stuck with me for another year. Whether things stay completely same. That’s another question. Maybe I’ll again take a few weeks off during the summer and see if that will give me enough boost to continue with this crazy project. Next TOR-BOS game seven. Back next week. Love love love.
