OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #275

Another quick and very late new music weekly. On the verge of quitting, but there’s things I want to cover too. So here’s another one.

New Leyla McCalla is the album of the week. There’s also great new albums from Trummors, Minor Moon, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Rubber Band Gun, Baby Blue, Mythical Motors, Wojtek the Bear, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Austin Stambaugh (EP), Nicolette & The Nobodies, Will Hoge, Humbird, Bridget Kearney and Elysian Fields.

From Finland there’s new albums from Rohkeat Kuvat and Pykäri and an EP from Poni. Plus singles from Samae Koskinen (well two singles), Ystävät, Rakkaudella Janne and Kari Burana.

Then there’s a whole of gorgeous international should be hits. Some early faves are the new ones from Josienne Clarke, Michael Feuerstack, Loose Collars, Tuba Skinny, Apples with Moya, Spencer Thomas, Icarus Phoenix, Mammoth Penguins, The Lemon Twigs and so forth. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Back next week with another one of these. Most likely anyway. Love love love.

Spotify Playlist

Tidal Playlist

YouTube Playlist

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.
