OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #296

No Comments

I was away for the weekend, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time for this. I’m sure I missed a lot, but here’s a quick late sunday night edition of the new music weekly.

Album of the week is the new one from long time favorite Adam Remnant. There’s also new albums from Willie Watson, Native Harrow, Jack Barksdale (EP), Golden Everything, Eliza Thorn, Nick Lowe & The Los Straitjackets, Lunar Vacation, Bad Moves, Nada Surf, Owen Marchildon, Sunbuzz (EP), Daryll-Ann, Rubber Band Gun, Allegra Krieger, Terra Spencer, Malin Pettersen (EP), Kevin Gordon, Mac Leaphart and Tim Poovey.

Big Finnish release week too led by the new Iron Country Sisters and Samanna albums. Love them both. Also great new albums from Saimaa, Papa Reino, Matti Salo Quartet plus singles gold by The New Tigers, Jari Raaste, Joose Keskitalo & The Mystic Revelation of Teppo Repo, Kanerva feat Asa and Rakkaudella Janne.

And lots international singles too. Some early favorites came from Andre Ethier, Juliet McConkey, Adeline Hotel, Alex Dupree, St. Lenox, Snowgoose, Julianna Riolino & Adrian Underhill.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Twenty three strikes on Tuesday, so maybe some blog anniversary posts this week. No other celebrations. Unless some unofficial ones like the Rosita Luu concert on Friday. Oh and Christopher Paul Stelling is in Finland this week. Go and see him. I’d love to, but pretty much impossible due to work. Love love love.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #295

No Comments

What a monster release week. Way too much for a one guy to listen on one weekend or ever, but here’s some kind of take on what new is out and available.

MJ Lenderman and the late great Richard Laviolette can share the album of the week spot. There’s also great new albums from The Deslondes, Bob Sumner, Jeffrey Foucault, Elise Leavy, Wayne Graham, Young Scum, The Junipers, Peel Dream Magazine, Gold Star Gold Star, Love, Burns, JPW (EP), Tamar Berk, Dagwood (EP), Laura Jane Grace (EP), The Heavy Heavy, Björn Peter Thisell, Tami Neilson, The Peawees, Astrologer, PW Warson, Well Well Well, Oh Rose, Mo Kenney and John Blek.

A really big Finnish release week too led by the fabulous new albums from Rosita Luu and Kaita Isäri Seppälä. My big obsession earlier this week was the Huonosti puetut lapset EP that came out a month ago. I really love it and therefore I included a song here too. Credit to Lotta Savolainen and her Uusi ääni show on Radio Helsinki for that find. Other Finnish gems this week are albums from Eerie Deer, Iris Kukka and AK-77 plus singles from Susanna Leppänen, Sina Viola, Sanni Reilin (also a bit older one discovered from Uusi ääni), Joni Ekman, Cult of Stenman (new band led by Tom Stenman), Emilia Sisco and Cold Diamond & Mink, The Skiffs, Ilja Karsikas & Erik Bäckman and messier. Also revisiting a few awesome albums at the end of the playlist. I had to go back to Hattara too, because I finally saw them live on Friday and that was one of the highlights of my concert year. Oh how I love that band.

There was ridiculous amount of new albums, so the international singles are a bit buried on the second half of this monster playlist. But there’s plenty of great ones. Some early favorites came from Flora Hibberd, Sam Blasucci, Charlotte Cornfield, Christo Graham, The Innocence Mission, Zachary Lucky and Shelley Short. Again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. One more new music weekly as a 22 year old music blog. Soon twenty three strikes. Love.

1. Richard Laviolette feat Bry Webb & Cots – All Wild Things Are Shy (All Wild Things Are Shy, You’ve Changed Records)
