Rough week. I thought about skipping this one, but new music release schedule doesn’t rest and there’s again a lot of it. So here’s a quick mild pneumonia recovery edition of the weekly. I’m sure there’s quite a lot stuff missing, because I just went with what I knew beforehand and didn’t make any sort of a deep dive.
New Rosali is the album of the week. There’s also new greatness from Charlie Parr, Sam Evian, Waxahatchee, Adrianne Lenker, Sierra Ferrell, Pat Reedy, William Alexander, Hunter Hicks, Crow vs Lion, Rosie Tucker, Alena Spanger, Shaela Miller, Son of the Velvet Rat, Thee Sinseers and Aoife O’Donovan.
From the Finnish side of things we awesome new album from V.Härkönen, Saimaa, Ylva Haru and Jere Ijäs ja Monacon Työväen Palloilijat plus singles gold from Nightbird, Salaliitto, Keidas and Franka Oroza and Cold Diamond & Mink.
New Turner Cody song is the international single of the week. Other early faves came from The Pearlfishers, Wojtek the Bear, Chris Kasper, Winter McQuinn, Erin Mat & Paul and so forth. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next week is Easter, so I’m not sure about the timeframe of the next one. It could be anywhere from Friday to Monday. But there will be one unless this sickness throws more curve balls. Love love 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.
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.
