Another week, another new music weekly.
First one as a writer of a 21 year old music blog. Time is a weird concept. But I made a post about that yesterday, so let’s go on with the weekly new music routine.
Marina Allen’s beautiful album and EP from Terry’s Paradise were the key releases for me this week. Really dig that postmodern doowop from Terry’s Paradise. If you dig the new one, I highly recommend the earlier EPs too. There’s some big gems there like Full Moon and Dotted Line. There’s much more of course and the week gave us new albums from Kim Ware & The Good Graces, Veronica Stanton, Skinny Dyck (EP), Amy Ray, Rhett Miller, Sweet Megg, The Beths, Jesca Hoop, The Harlem Gospel Travelers, Ali McGuirk, Lara Taubman, The Commonheart and Iron & Wine (Lori covers EP). And then there’s one originally from 2018 too, but it has a 2022 reissue. That’s the one by country songwriter and musician Tobias Berblinger who also plays in Kassi Valazza’s touring band. I actually found this great album from Kassi’s insta stories. So thank you goes there. The CD and streaming reissue is already available on Ten Dollar Recording Co. Vinyl reissue is coming up in October, so perhaps I’ll share another track when that happens.
The big Finnish release on these evil streaming platforms is the new album from Jani Matti Juhani. It has been out some months for the lovely folks who still buy music, but now it is also streaming. A really strong album. I love it to bits. We also got a debut album from Nina Kaitaranta and then there’s a great run of singles from Of Wild, Silva Emilia, Suosikki and Hexehexe. Ok, I think the last one is from the week before this, but better late than never all the other cliches. It’s a damn good one so sorry about missing it a week ago.
The international single favorite is probably the new one from Julianna Riolino. So look forward to hearing her album when it comes out. Other early faves this week came from David Miner, Twain, Tommy Alexander, Lincoln Barr, MacKenzie Roark, John Fullbright, Drew Beskin & The Sunshine, Mightmare and Pomplamoose / Nataly Dawn / J.E. Sunde. Just to name a few and future spins might make me fall badly for a song that I didn’t name or even include on this way too long playlist.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. 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
I’ll make the playlist on Spotify and then transfer it to Tidal. This means a few tracks might be missing from the Tidal version, if they are not available on that platform. Usually it’s 1-3 tracks that are not on Tidal. 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.
