Here’s the Easter edition of the new music weekly. Quite a heavy release week, so good to have a couple of extra days at home to digest everything.
Hello Emerson is my album of the week, but there’s a lot of good alternatives too. We have new albums from Turner Cody, Jeremy Ferrara, Scott Ballew, Kimmi Bitter, The Secret Sisters, Scott H. Biram, Casual Technicians, The High Llamas, Mike Michaels’ Gentle Earth (a week or two old, but New Commute directed me to it yesterday), Ariel Sharratt, Shotgun Jimmie & Mathias Kom (EP), Bobbie, Magana, Sarah King, Dawn Landes, Jon Snodgrass and Spencer Kilpatrick (a week or so old).
Finnish section has an EP from Plastic Tones plus a run of singles from Mere Stellar, Oho!, Hiekka, Mara Balls, Kari Burana, Inariveljet, FER, Tuomo & Markus feat Verneri Pohjola, Rohkeat kuvat and Kärmes.
Anna Tivel and Adeem the Artist can share the song of the week honors. Other early faves came from Adam Remnant, Pat Hull, ROY, Merce Lemon, Marina Allen, Erin Mat & Paul, Daniel Markham, Jessica Pratt, Lost Dog Street Band.. again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back again next week. Hopefully I feel normal then. Still somewhat fatigued, but I guess it just takes some time to bounce back even from mild case of pneumonia. 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.
