OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #305

Weekend was again heavy with live music, so I didn’t have whole lot time or energy to listen new music. But here’s what I managed to gather.

There’s new albums from Fightmilk, Andrew Gabbard, Dorothea Paas, Yuma Abe, Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip (EP), Casual Technicians, Red Sleeping Beauty, Assistant, Minky Starshine, Continental Lovers, Gold Star, Lily Seabird (acoustic EP), William Matheny (EP), Eilen Jewell and Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms.

New great Bad Sauna album leads the Finnish part of this. I also want to hightlight the awesome debut singles from Kirsikkapuu, Ullalintulampi and Pihalla. The other Finnish gems are singles from Samae Koskinen, Ne Lintuizet, Nina Kaitaranta, Jere Ijäs, J.Karjalainen and Ananas.

Some early faves from the international singles category came from Sunny War feat Steve Ignorant, Will Stewart, Ryan Necci & The Buffalo Gospel, Matt Paxton, The Laughing Chimes and Joni. 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.
