Here we go again. This time a bit earlier edition.
The album of the week is the new Eamon Fogarty. I loved all the advance singles and the whole thing didn’t let me down. What a beauty. There’s also new albums from Mr. Sam & The People People, Sadler Vaden, TJ Douglas, Jason Hawk Harris (EP), The Decemberists, BenBen + Lily Desmond (EP), Donald Beaman, Ghost Party, Joe Ghatt, Jeffrey Silverstein (EP), Peter Oren (EP), Brian Sumner, Isobel Campbell, Jill Barber, Madeline Hawthorne, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs and Jess Cornelius.
The Finnish part of this is led by the new EP from Jean Ramsay and the new album from Heidi Elmgren. Jean Ramsay’s gorgeous The Snowblind E.P. has been out for a couple of months, but now you can also find it from these evil streaming platforms. I just saw Heidi Elmgren live earlier today at lovely Martinfest 4 and enjoyed that concert a whole lot. I highly recommend the new album too. Other great Finnish cuts this week are singles from SaintPolis, Eerie Deer, AK-77, Lemmenpyssyt, Ocelot, Emilia Sisco and Bobby Oroza.
Finally the international singles. Some early favorites there are new ones from Rainy Eyes, Jake Xerxes Fussell, The Deslondes, Nap Eyes, India Ramey, Justin Townes Earle, Jack M. Senff, West of Roan, Beachwood Sparks.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next week is midsummer and therefore I’m not sure am I going to do this or not. I’ll let you know on the social platforms. If not, I will try to cover two weeks with the next episode. Until then. Love love love.

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.
