OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #384

No Comments

Another week, another new music weekly.

There’s new albums from Mary Margaret Cozart, Hollow Hand, Uncle Steven, Leon Majcen, Paige Plaisance, Lena Rich, Benjamin Tod, Rose Gerber, Embla & The Karidotters, Told Slant, Rubber Band Gun, The Unbelieving Dog, Sharp Pins, Radio Days, Soft Science and Holly Throsby. Oh and Lily Seabird is out on physical/download, but won’t hit streaming until early October.

The highlight of the Finnish music was a new surprise album from The New Magnetic North. Other Finnish gems of the week are album from Kanerva and singles from Pekka Laine & Enchanted, Janne Tapion Sisäinen Avaruus, A.Takalo, aamu aurinko, Morimus, STINAKO & Njet Njet 9, Litku Klemetti, Markus Krunegård & Maustetytöt, Saaramaija Zorawski and Ville Ahonen.

A lot of of gold in the international singles section too. Some early favorites there came from Kacy Lee Anderson, Max Bien Kahn, Sam Burton, Lou Turner, Frances De Vargas, Joel Cusumano, Plastic Family, Emmett Morris.. again just to name a few. Also a revisit to St. Yuma’s wonderful single. Full Time Hobby recently signed St. Yuma and therefore his 2026 album Trout Man temporarily disappeared and they are doing the release cycle again. So you may have heard them here before, but I love St. Yuma and that album so I’m going to feature the singles and later the album again (I’m not sure will the album/singles be exactly the same, but I’m sure it’s going to be wonderful). Only problem is that if the full thing won’t come out in 2026, do I feature the album as one of my 2026 AOTY or save it for 2027 if the blog/world still exists at that point.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. One more new music weekly as a music blog that is younger than quarter of a century. That one is probably late Sunday night edition, because I will be going to Helsinki to see Lemonator and The Sugarrush play at Tavastia on Saturday. That’s kind of related to the blog birthday too, because those bands are a big reason that this blog exists (back then this was about Finnish pop music and this expansion towards rootsy side of things came later). Kind of a lovely coincidence that the bands that inspired me to start this thing decided to make a comeback tour during this exact time. Especially because I was too lazy, broke and inefficient to set up any kind of 25 years celebration for the blog. So yeah, see you at Tavastia on Saturday and another of these things then on Sunday night. 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.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #383

No Comments

Back at this normal routine. I spent the last weekend in Sweden at Stockholm Roots Festival and therefore this one tries to cover the new music of the last two weeks. This is again longer than anyone will listen even though I deliberately left out some singles not to mention all the stuff I simply missed. One would think it would easier for me to do this biweekly or monthly, but there’s always so much new music that two weeks at once feels overwhelming and therefore I prefer the weekly schedule. Anyway, here’s what I managed to put together.

New Le Ren can be the album of the week(s), because I’ve been a fan for years and this new album is again gorgeous. There’s also 36 other great new albums / EPs here from Elanor Moss, The Bird Calls, Two Runner, Mama’s Broke, Blaine Todd, Riley Downing, Son Volt, The Jayhawks, Billy Strings, Kimmi Bitter, James Steinle, Jess Parker, Laurelyn Dossett, Ken Pomeroy (cover EP), Sera Cahoone, David Quinn, Ned Collette, Dogwood Tales, Lambchop, Asher White, Graham Hunt, The Afghan Whigs, Dinosaur Jr, Squirrel Flower, The Bures Band, Natalie Wildgoose (EP), Black Duck with Elena Setien, Josh Gilligan, Shredded Sun, M G Boulter & Jenny Sturgeon, Hannes Aitman, Chris Pierce, Tony Hannah, Alicia Blue, Jason McNiff and Crow vs Lion. That took a while to write a lion let alone listen.

The highlight of the Finnish part of this the wonderful new Laura Moisio single. Also very fond of new V.Härkönen, The High Tydes and Ullalintulampi singles. Other Finnish gems of the past two weeks are albums from SATANEN and Neiti Aika plus singles from Bizzarro & Jukka Nissinen, Hamina, Tomi Puukko, Eidetic Dreams, Vet Pillows, Lempi Elo, Eereka & Miika Leivo and Figaro.

A lot of gold on the international singles too. Some early faves came from Chris Lyons, Ian Noe, Izaak Opatz, Jeffrey Silverstein, Michael Nau, Mac Cornish, Pug Johnson, Willi Carlisle, The Goods, Steady Holiday, Claire Cronin.. again just to name a few. I have lot of listening to do.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Good luck anyone trying to listen and digest all of that six plus hours of new music. Back to weekly schedule next week and at least a bit more reasonable amount of music then. It will still be too long don’t get me wrong. I know I probably should make a more tightly curated 20 song selection or something, but this is how it is for now. I guess anyone can listen as much or as little as they want to. Love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #382

No Comments

A very late one, because I’m on vacation. Mostly been sleeping though, because I’m so tired. But here’s what I managed to put together.

New Reb Fountain is the album of the week. There’s also great new albums from Johanna Samuels, Alex Dupree, Pony Bradshaw, Sunfingers (EP from June, but I just discovered it thanks to New Commute), Hank Heaven (EP), Attention Bird Utopia (EP), Laura Veirs, Phoebe Bridgers, Ada Lea (EP), Lindsay Lou, Auguste Patino, Kelly Doyle, Dent May, Attic Abasement, Real Numbers, Elizabeth Cook, Bronwyn and Clayton Nile Young.

I will spent the next weekend at Stockholm Roots so there either won’t be a new music weekly at all or I will do it on Monday when I’ve returned from travel.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #381

No Comments

Another live music weekend. Aren’t they all. But here’s what I managed to put together on Sunday Evening.

The Roseline made the album of the week. There’s also new albums from Margaret Glaspy, Rowena Wise, The Mountain Goats, Corb Lund, Silverada, Zach Thompson (EP) and Good Good Blood.

The big one from Finland is the new Hulda Huima single. It’s a cover of Smoking Her Wings by The Bats, but with Finnish lyrics. Other Finnish gems this week are singles from Myrtsi, Paula ja Olli and The Crying Light.

Some other early faves came from Mama’s Broke, Hollow Hand, Paige Plaisance, Riley Downing, Sierra Ferrell, Devon Church… again just to name a few.
