Another week, another new music weekly.
Gilbert Louie Ray and Charley Crockett can share the album of the week honors. Other big album releases came from Toria Wooff, Weaving, Liam Cole, Steven van Betten & Andrew Rowan (EP), Edwyn Collins, Ian M Bailey, Aux Meadows, Neal Francis, Charlie Marks, Dewey Lester & The 6:03, Easy Sevens, Todd Day Wait, Lone Striker and Dana Gavanski (EP).
The Finnish part of this has wonderful new albums from Pelko, Janeveera and Solemn Golem. Plus singles from Ahti Kulo, Aili Järvelä, Ilmi Lupiini, Joni Ekman & Koira, Kärmes and Jukka Takalo.
Some early faves on the international singles category came from Pearl Charles, Kristina Murray, Eliza Niemi, Jordan Lee King, Joni, Erin Durant, Florist, Natural Bridges… Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. A bit rushed episode, because anxious hockey following took my saturday. Thankfully summer vacation on that front now, because JYP is done for the season. I mean sure playoffs would have been lovely, but they didn’t really deserve it and playout would have been too nerve-wrecking. So being completely out of it until next fall suits me just fine. A bit more time for other things like music. Back next week. 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.
