OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #304

A bit slow release week. I guess we all need some time to recover. Dark times. Thankfully there’s music.

I’ve been really loving the ALVILDA album that came out a couple of weeks ago (credit to RSTB where I discovered it). This week we have new albums from Fleur, Silver Sun, Speed Circuit, Alex Dupree (reissued), John R. Miller (EP), Bananagun, Brooks and Bowskill, Klara Goliger and amelia courthouse (a couple of months old, but just found it). Oh and a great Margo Guryan celebration compilation.

A bunch of great Finnish albums too from Henna Emilia Hietamäki, Minkki, Jonatan Snapir and Mikko Juvonen (well this one was last week, but somehow I forgot to include it). Also new singles from Bad Sauna, Emilia Sisco and Cold Diamond & Mink, Tuomo & Markus feat Verneri Pohjola, Esa Linna and Carla Aakre.

Some early faves on the international singles category came from Malin Pettersen, Dom Mariani, Abe Partridge, Clara Mann, Continental Lovers, Gabi Hartmann. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. 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.
