A bit behind schedule due to NHL and Eurovision song contest. Probably missed a lot too, because I didn’t have a lot of time to listen to new music.
New Abe Partridge is the album of the week. A lot of great stuff on that record. Charlotte Cornfield is high on my list too. Really love that song called The Magnetic Fields. Can’ wait to dive deeper into the album. This week we also got most likely awesome albums from Nathan Xander, Reyes (EP), Vanity Mirror, Wila Frank, Alfie Firmin, Sumos, Taylor Knox, Jeffrey Silverstein, Richard Allen, Dogwood Tales (EP), L CON, Kevin Coons, Emma Frank, John Southworth, Symphony Orchestra, Elijah Ocean (EP), Guy Capecelatro, Chris Decato & Friends (this has been on Bandcamp a while), John Hollywood, Libby Rodenbough and Parker Millsap.
My favorite release (and song) comes from Finland this week. This is of course the new Söpöily-EP from ITE EEROLA. I love the whole thing, but my personal favorite is the song Pehmeelle pojalle. I instantly fell for this one when I heard it live earlier in the year and now I’ve had the recorded version on repeat for days. Other Finnish gems of the week are album from Maa ilmasta, EP from Pelko and singles from Ville Rauhala, Tomi Nordlund & Syvä Joki, Janne Tapion Sisäinen Avaruus, Rami Vierula, Havut, Nina Kaitaranta and Kärmes.
International song of the week is the new Margo Cilker single, Other early faves came from Kacey Johansing, Jobi Riccio, Brennen Leigh, Jake Nicoll, Jason Eady and RF Shannon. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. I hope I didn’t forget/miss too much. Feel free to send reminders / hate mail. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Love and happiness. Back next week for another episode of this crazy new music project.

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.
