OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #291

Here we are again. No excuses this time around. I was actually at home for the weekend.

Album of the week is the new one from Quivers. I’ve been a fan since I heard the debut single Pigeons and this new one is again such a treasure. Other great album releases came from Maxwell Stern, The Martial Arts, Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters, Futurebirds, Skylar Gudasz, R.R. Williams, Good Good Blood, Jake McKelvie, Justin Townes Earle (rarities comp), Good Good Blood, Jason Sinkhorn (EP), Guidon Bear, Forest Fallows, Real Companion, TW Walsh, Cowgirl and Share.

New single from Susanna Leppänen is my Finnish pick this week. Other homeland cuts are singles from AK-77, Jukka Takalo and an album from Custody (this came out in April, but I got the memo few days ago. Good stuff though, so better to include it now than never).

International single of the week is the awesome new Adeline Hotel song. Also really loved the new ones from Abe Partridge and Adam Remnant. Some other early faves came from Andrew Gabbard, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Jacksonport, Best Bets, Young Scum, Noeline Hofmann.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with another of these things. Love love love.

Spotify Playlist

Tidal Playlist

YouTube Playlist

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.
