OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #302

A very quick and very late new music weekly. I didn’t have time go through submissions and I’m sure there’s a ton of good new music missing from this one.

St. Lenox is the album of the week. We also have great new albums from 2nd Grade, Anne Malin, Bailey Bigger, Skinny Dyck, The Bures Band, Ben Varian, Stephen Becker, Onsloow, Amythyst Kiah, Dave Vettraino, Rob Dobson, The Eggmen Whoooooo!, William Harries Graham and Grayson Capps.

From the Finnish side of things there’s a couple of EPs. Keidas and Modem / Dragsvik split. Plus some awesome singles from Ne Lintuizet, KO:MI, Viive, Eidetic Dreams, Sanni Reilin, The Orphan, Honey Crisp and SaintPolis.

Some early faves in the international singles category came from The While, Flora Hibberd, Bobby Emmett, Specific Thing, Sam Moss… again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. Back next week with a less rushed effort. 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.
