OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #371

No Comments

Another very late and very quickly done new music weekly, but here’s what I managed to put together.

Alela Diane, Simon Joyner and Thomas Dollbaum can share the album of the week honors. Other great album releases came from The Deslondes, Whitney Rose (EP), Roger Ramsey (EP), Austin Leonard Jones (EP), Kyle Morgan, Trevor Sloan, Adam Ostrar, SPELLMAN, Radhika, Freschard & Stanley Brinks, Ted Lucas (lost album), Roller One, Magic Tuber Stringband, Thomas Csorba, Juana Everett and Jacob Augustine.

A lot of great Finnish stuff this week. I want to highlight the new Olva single. The first Olva single Mehiläisille has been one of the dearest songs to me during this soon 25 year long music blog adventure. Kind of difficult to follow up on that, but no worries. I really love this one too. Other Finnish gems this week are albums from Tams, Tahmela Six, The Icons of Elegance, Silja Palomäki and Surupuseroiset plus singles from Hulda Huima, Hamina, Knipi, Aleksi Oksanen, French Films, Saaramaija Zorawski, Culture Trap, Anemones, Koti and Morimus.

New Le Ren is the international single of the week. Other early faves came from Gina Leslie, Shaun Couture, Avry Truex, Johanna Samuels, Biita Houdei, Fuses, Yea-Ming and the Rumours, Labrador… again 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 of these things. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #369

No Comments

Another weekend full of live music and therefore the recorded music was on the backburner until Sunday morning. But here’s what I managed to put together.

The Lemon Twigs made the album of the week. There’s also new album froms Rural France, Beefheart & McQuinn, Ellen Froese, Nora Kenny, India Ramey, Matthew Logan Vasquez, Trey Burnart Hall, Trippers & Askers, Nicholas Krgovich, Michael A. Muller, Michaela Anne, Nick Dittmeier & The Sawdusters, Gun Outfit, Stormen Gudrun (Swedish power pop etc, a month old but saw them live last week and loved them), Abigail Lapell, Sumos, Aldous Harding, Age of Peace (another bit older, saw it on the great New Commute and liked it).

The big one from Finland is the wonderful new joku iiris album. Other Finnish gems are singles from Viljami Kukkonen, Hanhani, Viivi Rättyä, Bonuslapsi, Yakuzi Pato and Mitä helvettiä nyt taas.

New Sam Gelband can be the international single of the week. There’s actually several beautiful singles already available, but I had missed them because I hadn’t the noticed the name change. He used to release music under the name Mr. Sam & The People People, so the new stuff under his own name flew under my radar. Other early faves came from Thomas Dollbaum, The Pintos, Haylie Davis, Mac Cornish, J.W. Ricci, Gina Leslie, Scott Ballew, Caleb Caudle, Lambchop, Bedouine… 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 I will be rather busy, so this will take place either very late on Sunday or not at all. I let you know. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #368

No Comments

A bit ahead of the schedule this time around, because vappu gave an extra day off from the day job.

Maisy Owen made the album of the week. Other album gems this week came from Hiss Golden Messenger, Paisley Fields, Emily Nenni, Damien Jurado & Lilly Miller, Adeem the Artist (EP, a full album has been available on Bandcamp for some months. I highly recommend buying it there, but now some of it is available to stream as well), The Medium, Ty Maxon, Reb Fountain (EP), Rob & Ellen (EP), Above Me, Maya Hawke, Cindy, Geordie Gordon, Golden Tiles, Weird Nightmare, Chris Brain, Good Good Blood (EP), Henry Parker (EP), Reverend Baron (first part of a forthcoming album), William Alexander, Andrew Jobin (EP), North Fork Crossing, Charley Crockett, Jacob Faurholt, Jesca Hoop, Laura Cahen, Sweet Megg and Malin Pettersen (EP). Then there’s also Old No.1 tribute with a lot of my favorite artists taking part. I put Erin Rae here on the playlist. Update few hours later: added Serafima & The Shakedowns album, because I somehow forgot it.

The Finnish part is my favorite this week, because there’s some songs that matter the world to me. If you follow me on instagram, you are well aware that M. I. Laine has become a huge favorite of mine during the last six months. I’ve loved pretty much everything that I’ve heard on several live shows around Turku. Therefore I’m thrilled that there’s now a wonderful debut single available from M. I. Laine & Sortumavaara. It’s a powerful song dedicated to the victims of sexual violence. Also check out the equally awesome live video from Tavastia for the song Kaupan kylmähyllyllä.

This week I also got borderline obsessed with the new kaunis veli song Haapojen alle. Well actually stats say that I’ve listened it 45 times now, so perhaps the word borderline is somewhat unnecessary. It’s an amazing song full of of warm-hearted fragile beauty. Absolute love it wholeheartedly.

Then there’s also the Albert album that came out in late March. I missed it at the time, but found it early this week and have been listening it a whole lot. A damn good rock’n’roll album and also highly recommended. The actually brand new Finnish album gems came from Arppa & Jiri-serkku and Väinö Karjalainen (only two songs on Spotify, full album available on physical formats and other streaming services). Then there’s also great singles from Hot Heros & Janne Laurila, Janeveera, Tahmela Six and Pratt & Moody feat Cold Diamond & Mink.

The international single of the week is the new Hurry one, because they are one of my favorite power pop bands and just released the first single from their next album. Other early faves came from Cinder Well, The Mellons, Jeffrey Silverstein, I’m Kingfisher, Corey Parsons, Avry Truex, Charlie Marie… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Oh and this will be on Apple Music for one more month, because of course I forgot to cancel that two month free trial and it charged my card. So good news for the four people who follow me there. I did cancel it now, so this will disappear from Apple on 1st of June. Anyway, back next week with another of these way too long playlists. Then we have the new joku iiris masterwork among other beautiful things. Love.
