A slightly flu-ish edition of the new music weekly. I have even less brain capacity than normally, so I’m sure there’s stuff missing.
New Lou Hazel is the album of the week. I’ve loved everything he has released so far and I’m thrilled that there’s now a full album of his songs. Other big album releases came from Kristin Daelyn, Will Stewart, Echolalia, Domestic Drafts, Jacob Miller (EP), Yves Jarvis, Paradise Motel Lounge, Charles Wesley Godwin (EP), JD Clayton, Ponyhustle (this one is a few weeks old, but I had missed the email until now), Buffalo Kin, The While (EP) and Midwestern Medicine (EP).
The big one from Finland is the long-waited Sonja Selene album. Another cool new album is from New Silver Girl. A lot of great singles too from Slack Bird, Poni, Ghost World, The Moontwins, Moonwards, Hattara, Tinyhawk & Bizzarro, Cats of Transnistria, Wilma, Eidetic Dreams, Thelma’s Dream and Janeveera. A lot of stuff in the dream pop / shoegaze spectrum, if you are into such things. Kind of a reason I included Ahti Kulo’s Hattara remix too, because it fit so well in there. Well of course I love the band too, but usually I leave out remixes and live stuff because these playlists are already longer than anyone will listen.
Some early faves in the international single category came from Colin Miller, Craig Finn, Sharp Pins, 54 Ultra, Michael Cloud Duguay, Blue Cactus and Judy Blank. Again just to name a few.
That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. I’ll go back to bed and try to shake off this cold/flu. 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.
