The album of the week is the new Dylan LeBlanc album for two great reasons. First and foremost, it’s a damn good album. Secondly, he will actually starts his European tour here in Finland next week. He will play in Tampere, Telakka on the 28th and in Helsinki, On the Rocks on the 29th. Extremely highly recommended. Both the record and the upcoming concerts.
There’s plenty of other great releases too. Maybe Sun June and Stanley Brinks are at the top of my list, but we also great new ones from Matt Moran (EP), Dusk, Mike Adams at His Honest Weight, Tedo Stone, Cactus Lee, Ha Ha Tonka, Steph Green, Dylan Rodrigue, Katie Von Schleicher, Maya De Vitry (EP), Israel Nash, Malena Cadiz, Gracie Lane, Dylan Lancaster and Malin Pettersen.
Awesome Finnish release week as well led by the new Sepänkadun Köyhät ja Nöyryytetyt album. We also got excellent albums from Pambikallio and Jarkko Martikainen plus an EP from Suonio & Taskinen. A few gorgeous singles from Aavikko feat Nicole Willis and Karlo Haapiainen & Varaslähtö. Oh and I missed a couple of things last week. These are album from Vimma and single from Tyynyt. That Tyynyt single was a really bad miss, because it’s such a wonderful song.
The international single of the week is obviously the first single from the next Willi Carlisle album. Love that guy. Other early faves came from Zach Russell, Andrew Bryant, Vincent Neil Emerson, Charley Crockett, Evan Cheadle, Thomas Walsh, Michael Nau and Bastards of Soul. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Maybe we’ll see in Helsinki next Sunday at the Dylan LeBlanc concert. But most likely another episode of this new music weekly before that. Until then. Love and empathy.

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.
