Another week, another new music weekly.

I’m also on vacation from the factory day job. Which is nice. I hope I manage to write some blog posts too. No definite promises though. But first Super Bowl and then sleeping most of Monday because of it. Even before that, here’s the new music weekly. Still available on three different platforms (Tidal, Spotify and Apple Music).

A couple of really big album releases this week. The Delines is my album of the week, but that Big Thief album fully deserves all the hype it has received. Love them both. There’s plenty of other gems too. There’s new albums from The Cactus Blossoms, Anthony St. James (this is a 2021 release that is now also available on these evil streaming platforms), Jason Scott & The High Heat, Frank Turner, Carrie Biell, Gina Leslie (EP), Lotte Kestner, Spoon, Night Shop, Mr. Husband (also available on Bandcamp before, but now streaming) Wesley Bright, Devon Lamarr Organ Trio, Stephanie Lambring (this was here on 2021 when it first came out, but why not include it again now that she rereleased with Thirty Tigers), Rue Snider, Jane Bruce, Tomato Flower (EP), Allison Moorer (EP).

A bit short Finnish section this time around, but there is an excellent run of singles from Aava, Lake Huttula, Knipi and Torrances. I’m sure there had to be more.

So much to love on the international singles side of things. Dakota Hall Scott and John Calvin Abney can share the song of the week title. I’m a big fan of both and hearing the first singles from their forthcoming new albums made my week significantly better. Micah Schnabel’s new single that I bought from a Bandcamp a week back is also now streaming. That’s another one that matters a great deal to me. There’s plenty more though and I’m very much enjoying the new ones from Ian Noe, Spencer Thomas, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, Erin Enderlin, Devil’s Coattails, Carson McHone, Jo Schornikow, Dylan Rodrigue, Johanna Samuels, Apollo Ghost, Evan J Cartwright, Andy Shauf, Kyle Morgan, Sophie & The Broken Things, Reilly Downes and Madeleine Kelson. Well just to name a few. There’s gold throughout the way too long playlist. Like that new Willie Nelson treasure close the end.

That’s it for this week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It may feel pointless, but even just hitting that like button matters more than you will ever know. Hopefully some kind of blog posts next week, but we’ll see how this vacation goes. Love from a distance.

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. If you want to find the older ones I’ve moved them to the weekly playlist archive. So hit that link above and I’m sure you’ll find this playlist too.

Another week, another new music weekly.

A big week in music, because we have a new Erin Rae album in this world. Absolutely love it based on a few early spins and I don’t expect my feelings to change in the future. Josienne Clarke’s EP and the new album from The Reds, Pinks and Purples also matter a great deal to me. There’s plenty more though, which I will listen more thoroughly during the week. We have new albums from The High Water Marks, Ryan Allen (EP that has been on Bandcamp a couple of weeks, Matt Fockler, Mikayla McVey, Gold Light, Jana Pochop, Mitski, Carl Schilde, Cate Le Bon, Seafarers, Heal & Harrow, Marissa Nadler (EP), Love, Burns, Good Morning Bedlam and The Rave-Ups.

From Finland there’s new albums from Keidas, Rohkeat Kuvat and Ite Eerola. Plus a Kalevala themed various artists collection that features some of my favorite artists like Kielo Kärkkäinen and Laura Moisio. Then there’s also great singles from Pintandwefall and M.

And finally the international (should be) single hits. That Lucy Dacus single is fabulous and perhaps my favorite along with the new Joshua Hedley song. We also got gold from David Quinn, Caroline Spence, Scott Ballew, Dana Gavanski, Cactum Blossoms, Bastards of Soul, Young Guv, Ryan Dugre, Triptides, Arre! Arre!, Bastards of Soul, Jacksonport and many others.

That’s it for this week. I did write a few short blog posts this week. I’m not sure are such small things helpful, but I guess it can’t hurt either. Maybe I’ll continue. Don’t really know for sure. This new music weekly is still on Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music. Choose the one you hate the least and buy some music if you are able to do that. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Love from a distance.
