OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #374

No Comments

Another super late vacation edition of the new music weekly. It’s also very likely that I will skip the next aka midsummer weekend and just cover two weeks with the next one on the weekend of 27th-28th of June. Because first it’s midsummer and I also have to go back to the day job on Sunday. So there’s not much time next weekend. Therefore I also included a couple of singles from this current week on this one. But let’s stop the rambling and get to the new music.

New Alex Amen is the album the week. He made OCTA EP of the year in 2025 and I’ve been eagerly waiting this debut album. Wonderful stuff if you like 70s west coast folk/country kinda thing. Or just good music. Beautiful album. That Yea-Ming and the Rumours on the other hand is an amazing pop album. One of my faves of the year on that side of the onechordnet spectrum. Steven van Betten and Ruth Garbus albums also rule my world and can’t wait to give them more of my time. And there’s more of course. The week gave us new albums from Dakota Theim, Joe Abbott, Max Knouse, Ismay, Shabason & Krgovich, John Southworth, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Fruit Bats, Sam Cello, Courtney Hartman, Ward Hayden & Greg Hall (EP) and Tim Barry.

Lots of great Finnish singles too. Some early faves there came from V.Härkönen, Ruissalo Amping, Janne Tapion Sisäinen Avaruus and The New Tigers, but there’s plenty of others too. We have new ones from Kurja Valentin, ZAIDA, Pietarin Spektaakkeli, Litku Klemetti, Vellamo, Karlo Haapiainen & Varaslähtö, Moonwards, French Films, Gim Kordon, Juhlat and Katujen äänet. Also one album from Tarkkis. That’s from late April, but I missed it at the time. A good one if you are into punk rock.

Early favorites on the international singles category came from American Aquarium, William Matheny, Adam Amram, Twilark, Two Runner, Jude Brothers, Creekbed Carter Hogan, Otis Gibbs, Blaine Todd, Alex Dupree, The Bird Calls, Elanor Moss, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Styrofoam Winos… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next one on the weekend of 27th and 28th of June like mentioned above. I guess if the Sunday work shift gets canceled, there’s a small possibilty I’ll do this next weekend, but it’s probably very unlikely. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #373

No Comments

A very late new music weekly like I mentioned last week. I spent the weekend in Stockholm. The cornerstone of that little vacation trip was to see Hannah Juanita and Mose Wilson at Nalen. Absolutely loved the concert, so if you have a chance to seem them you definitely should. They still have dates left in Sweden and Norway. Anyway, because I was away for the weekend, I haven’t had much time to listen to new music. This was super heavy release week especially on the rootsier side of things. I probably missed a few, but here’s what I managed to put together. This doesn’t include the new stuff from Monday and Tuesday of this week. There’s already some singles out, but I’ll leave them for the next episode.

Probably better not select an album of the week, because I haven’t listened full albums yet. There’s many here that will end up on my EOTY list in December. The week gave us new albums from Avry Truex, Collin Nash, Caleb Caudle, Charlie Marie, Bella White, Gina Leslie, Haylie Davis, John R. Miller (only physical for now), Vandoliers (EP), Bedouine, Wes Parker, Slippers, Labrador, Astrologer, BMX Bandits (lost album), Baby Cool, Widowspeak, Jessica Lea Mayfield & Dolour, Ryan Pollie, Grey DeLisle & Les Greene, The Huntress and Holders of Hand, Deer Tick, Zoh Amba, Jalen Ngonda, Lea Marra & The River Boys, The Two Tracks and Lance Howell (3 song single/EP).

The Finnish part of this has albums from Telephone Romeo and Anemones plus singles from (Sulut), Riippuvaiset and Paula ja Olli. There had to be more, but I didn’t have the time to do a deeper search of tunes.

New TJ Douglas double single can be the international single(s) of the week. Other early faves came from The Satchel Kid, Hurry, Sad Daddy, Sequoia, Jack M. Senff & The Heartland Mission, Hollow Hand, Steven van Betten… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. I think next one will also be early week update (monday or tuesday). Back to usual after routine after the midsummer when my vacation ends. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #372

No Comments

A very late Monday edition of the new music weekly. I think it will be like this for the next few weeks, because I’m on vacation from the day job and have a lot of plans for the weekends, but little less for the early weekdays. It’s possible that I will miss one completely, but more likely is that these take place Monday/Tuesday for the next few weeks. Oh and my Apple Music subscription ran out, so this is not there anymore. Apologies for the few people who followed me there. It’s possible that it will return soon-ish, because I might need to finally upgrade my trusted iPhone 13 mini and if I go with a new one instead of a refurbished one, some free months might come with the phone. So we’ll see.

Joshua Ray Walker and Jordan Lee King can share the album of the week honor this week. Also really excited about the Greg Mendez album, but haven’t listened the whole album yet. Other great album releases of the week came from Rachel Swain, The Greenberry Woods, The Maureens, Sam Weber, Guided By Voices, Joey Quinones, Darryl Rahn, Georges E. Sioui, Keyland, Susto Stringband, Leeroy Stagger, Nathan Evans Fox, Luke Francis (EP) and The Pendulum Hearts (EP).

The biggest Finnish release week is not streaming, but it’s definitely worth a mention or parade that there’s a new Wojciech album in the world. Check it out on Bandcamp for now. CDs also available directly from the band or 8raita record store. Other Finnish gems this week are album from Mutka and singles from Jani Matti Juhani, Michael Bleu, Topi Saha, Lempi Elo, Kanerva, Markus Perttula, Drug Dog and Raivo Jackson.

New Corey Parsons can be the international single of the week, because it’s such a sweet song. Moms are the best. Other early faves came from Kimmi Bitter, Will Worden, David Myhr, Dakota Theim, Bramwell, Styrofoam Winos, Triptides.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. And like mentioned before, I think next episode will be early next week. I think Tuesday probably unless I skip it altogether. Sorry for the delays, but I think even music blogger deserves a vacation haha. Love.
