Another year, another week, another new music weekly.
An earlier return than I anticipated, but better get back to it because it’s so easy to let things slide and so damn difficult to start again. This one has both brand new 2023 songs and stuff from late 2022 when this thing was on hold. I’m sure a bunch of cool things from late 2022 is missing, because I didn’t make enough notes. Sorry about that.
The brand new ones this week are EPs from Thorsten Nesch, Apollo Flowerchild, North Atlantic Explorers and an album from Wes Tirey (well a reissue). From the 2022 we have albums from Lily Talmers, Zach Bryson, Rattlesnake Milk, Raymond Richards, Dad Weed, Grotoko and The Hackles.
From the Finnish side of things, the big one is the return of Heartjet. I highly recommended their new EP, if you are into power pop and other melodic things. Other early 2023 gems are singles from Fernet Underground, MeriTuuli and JYLHÄ. The late 2022 treasures include album from Pölykuu and singles from Sami Heikkilä, Tams, Tiny Hawk & Bizzarro, Modem and Tender Lakes.
Early 2023 international single gems include new ones from H.C. McEntire, Evangeline Gentle, Graham Nicholas, Juni Habel, Cat Clyde and Lemon Pitch. From late 2022 there’s such beauties like new songs from Libby DeCamp, Ellen Froese, Brower and Via Mardot. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for this week. That was mostly a quick round-up of things and most likely missed a ton. I try to get back to more usual broadcast next week. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters, if you want this to continue. 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
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. 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.
