What a strong release week so late in the year. Jennifer Castle, Haley Heynderickx and Mt. Misery can share the album of the week honors. Love all of them. New Andrew Bryant album was a great surprise. I didn’t see that coming, but excited to put that on heavy rotation next week. Then there’s also new albums from Max Bien Kahn, Zachary Lucky, Mount Eerie, Sam Blasucci, Lee Baggett, Trust Fund, Brower, Peter Perrett, Charlie Kaplan, Jeremie Albino, Loose Cattle, W.C. Beck, Austin Stambaugh, Garrett Owen, Julia Logan, Rachel Sermanni (EP) plus a Richard Swift compilation.
Equally big Finnish release week too led by the awesome new Viive and Jari Raaste albums. But that’s just tiny part of it, because we also have new albums from Peissu, Jere Valkonen, Ville-Veikko Airaniemi and Ruotomieli plus a STINAKO EP. Not to forget the new singles from Sonja Selene, Orvokki, UTU, Waver, Punomo, Ville Leinonen and Time Flies. Oh and managed to miss the album by Kansalainen on last week’s round up, so it’s here now because I like it a lot.
A new double single from Evan J Cartwright is one of the many gems on the international single category. Other early faves there came from Emma Munger, Renee Reed and K.C. Jones. 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 one. Love love love.

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.
