Another week, another new music weekly.
Things are heating up and there’s some big albums this week. H.C. McEntire and Pony Bradshaw are my first picks this week, because I’m a big fan of both and these new albums are beautiful. Plenty more though and there’s great new albums from Meg Baird, El Dorodo, JD Clayton, The Gibson Brothers, Florry (EP), Joe Henry, Half Gringa (EP), Gena Rose Bruce, Silver Biplanes, The Tubs, Sara Noelle and L.T. Leif.
Another excellent Finnish release week as well led by the new Vuoret album. A couple of great EPs too from Mountaines and Sam Shingler. And rather awesome singles runs too that includes new ones from Graceskull, Markus Perttula, Liila Jokelin, M, Mara Balls and Plastic Tones. All highly recommended. Also revisiting last week’s album releases from MeriTuuli and SaintPolis.
The international single of the week is the first one from the forthcoming Kassi Valazza album. I think I’ve loved everything she has released and I can’t wait to hear that new album. It will be out this spring on Loose Music (Europe) and Fluff & Gravy Records (US). Other early favorites came from Josienne Clarke, Dylan Earl, Bart, Those Pretty Wrongs, Lemon Pitch, Wax Mannequin, Jackson Hoyt, BennyHonda SuperShifter, Mike Frazier and Sluice. Those last four are all new artists to me. Always nice to find new ones to love. Again that’s just to name a few. Something that I didn’t mention might end up being the biggest favorite when I’ve spent more times with these songs.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. 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.
