Another quick new music weekly. I probably should put more effort to these. Thankfully it was a bit less crowded week due to memorial day weekend in the US.
The Pearlfishers and Adam Ross can share the album of the week honors. Some great pop albums there. This week we also have new albums from Yea-Ming and the Rumours, Motorists, Bess Atwell, Dolour, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Gregory Ackerman (EP), Wyatt C. Louis, Kim Richey, Lana Nauphal, Steel Fringe (EP), La Luz, Sweet Megg and Bill MacKay. Memorial and Wesley Fuller have been out for a while, but I just lately discovered and therefore first time here.
The album from Leija Lautamaja is the big Finnish treasure of the week. Such a magnificent album. Also very fond of the new Sonja Selene single. Loved the first one and same feeling applies here too. There’s also great new singles from Rosita Luu, Kari Tapiiri, Pelko, Rättö & Lehtisalo, Eidetic Dreams, Ville Rauhala and Hullu Pappila.
And from the international single category there’s a whole lot of good ones too. Some early faves came from BenBen, Carson McHone, Asher Kartman (a week or two old), Marina Allen, Sinai Vessel, Pete Posie, Marley Hale, The Bird Calls.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next weekend schedule is still a bit of a blur, but there probably will be a new weekly somewhere along the way. We’ll see. Love and other beautiful things.

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.
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.
