Another week, another new music weekly.
This seemed like a slow release week on the album front or perhaps I just didn’t get the memo on some great releases. A lot of singles gold though and of course there are some wonderful albums too.
The album list is led by an album by Andre Ethier. It’s the last one of the trilogy he made with Sandro Perri. Other new albums this week came from Britton Patrick Morgan, Fust, Terje Espenes (Bruce Springsteen covers), St. Yuma (this is actually a month old, but first time here), Del Amitri, Bachelor, Olivia Wendel, Lou Barlow and Volk.
My favorite Finnish thing is probably the new Teini-Pää double single. I just love the band and everything they release. I can’t wait to hear the forthcoming full-length. There’s a fairly long Finnish section on the playlist with singles from Knipi, Tender Lakes, Liljankukka, Rosita Luu, Sumuhai, Color Dolor. This week we also got an album from The Bablers that came out on US power pop label Big Stir Records and EP from Palor (prolific band, because they just released an album couple months ago). Oh yeah and early on in the midst of some country, folk and americana favorites we have the new The Lovematches single that was written by Jean Ramsay.
And then the international (should be) hits. The big one here is the new Jeremy Ferrara single and album announcement. Lead single is here and an album will follow in July on the always wonderful American Standard Time Records. His label mate Jeremy James Meyer also released another great track from his forthcoming album. A few other personal favorites came from Jason Sinkhorn, Megan Palmer, Jess Jocoy, T.Hardy Morris, Turner Cody and Tim Knol. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for this week. Love from a distance.

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
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 a) if someone wants to follow it, they can just follow that one list and will get a new set of songs each Sunday b) so that I don’t have a trillion of different playlists on my Spotify account.
