OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #283

No Comments

Another quick delayed new music weekly. Just got back home late Sunday evening from a small vacation trip to Mariehamn. I’m sure there’s stuff missing from this, but here we go anyway.

There’s new albums from Strand of Oaks, Jesse Daniel, Bonny Light Horseman, Marina Allen, M G Boulter, Margaux, Pat Hull, Little Wings, Jason McNiff, Gill Landry, Nick Dittmeier (EP), Joana Serrat, Fantastic Cat, Pedro the Lion, Good Looks, Rose Hotel, Razor Braids and Kayla Ray.

The big one from Finland is the wonderful debut album by Ystävät. Then there’s also great albums from Folkjykä & Kuntoutujat, Vellamo and Mara Balls plus singles from Hattara, Pekka Laine, The Orphan, Messier, Rosettes, Arppa, Bizzarro & Jere Ijäs, Lempi Elo and Jukka Takalo.

A whole lot of awesome international singles too. I haven’t spend a lot time with them yet, but some early faves came from Erin Rae, VanWyck, Quivers, Laughing, The While and The Broken Spokes. Again just to name a few.

OCTA New Music Weekly – Episode #281

No Comments

Another quick new music weekly. I probably should put more effort to these. Thankfully it was a bit less crowded week due to memorial day weekend in the US.

The Pearlfishers and Adam Ross can share the album of the week honors. Some great pop albums there. This week we also have new albums from Yea-Ming and the Rumours, Motorists, Bess Atwell, Dolour, The Reds, Pinks and Purples, Gregory Ackerman (EP), Wyatt C. Louis, Kim Richey, Lana Nauphal, Steel Fringe (EP), La Luz, Sweet Megg and Bill MacKay. Memorial and Wesley Fuller have been out for a while, but I just lately discovered and therefore first time here.

The album from Leija Lautamaja is the big Finnish treasure of the week. Such a magnificent album. Also very fond of the new Sonja Selene single. Loved the first one and same feeling applies here too. There’s also great new singles from Rosita Luu, Kari Tapiiri, Pelko, Rättö & Lehtisalo, Eidetic Dreams, Ville Rauhala and Hullu Pappila.

And from the international single category there’s a whole lot of good ones too. Some early faves came from BenBen, Carson McHone, Asher Kartman (a week or two old), Marina Allen, Sinai Vessel, Pete Posie, Marley Hale, The Bird Calls.. again just to name a few.

That’s all for now. Like, share, follow and all the usual promotional nonsense. It all matters. Next weekend schedule is still a bit of a blur, but there probably will be a new weekly somewhere along the way. We’ll see. Love and other beautiful things.
