Another week, another new music weekly.
I got distracted with hockey trade news and didn’t have time to listen to new music that much. A new week and a new bad excuse. But I’ll do a better job eventually. Thankfully the release schedule isn’t super crowded in January.
The new albums this week came from This Frontier Needs Heroes, Mason Lindahl and Typhoon. That powerpop album from The Airport 77s is an earlier January release. There’s also an EP from Madeline Kenney.
From Finland the big one for me is the new single from Kielo Kärkkäinen. There’s also new albums from Suad and Mama Longhorn and a single from Nina Kaitaranta. Also revisiting Haamusoittajat EP from the past week.
Then there’s the international singles and there’s plenty of good ones. The new Melissa Carper single was the one I loved the most, but I’m also very fond of the new ones from Clara Mann, Hand Habits, Janet Simpson and Jerry Leger. And as usual, all the other ones are worthy of a namedrop too, but you’ll find them from the list below.
That’s it for now. 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.
