The album of the week is the new Michael Feuerstack. Love that album. Other great album releases came from ROY, Loose Collars, Scott McMicken and THE EVER-EXPANDING, Heather Little, Stephanie Lambring and Hour (well this was last week, but I managed to miss this beauty).

New quietly powerful Samae Koskinen single too for the third week in a row and ..read more

Rough week. I thought about skipping this one, but new music release schedule doesn’t rest and there’s again a lot of it. So here’s a quick mild pneumonia recovery edition of the weekly. I’m sure there’s quite a lot stuff missing, because I just went with what I knew beforehand and didn’t make any sort of a deep dive. New Rosali is the album of the week. There’s also new greatness from Charlie Parr, Sam Evian, Waxahatchee, Adrianne Lenker, Sierra Ferrell, Pat Reedy, William Alexander, Hunter Hicks, Crow vs Lion, Rosie Tucker, Alena Spanger, Shaela Miller, Son of the Velvet Rat, Thee Sinseers ..read more

A quick flu-ish edition of the new music weekly. I have close to zero brain activity in my foggy head, so there’s probably errors and stuff missing.

A lot of new music this week. Really lot. Maybe not albums, but oh my with the amount of singles. This could have been a hundred song monster. So yeah, this is longer than anyone will listen.

It’s been ages since I’ve made any kind post that was not a playlist or a year-end list. First I didn’t have the energy and then I sort of lost the belief that it matters. So I kinda just let things slide and it has never done me any good. I don’t know if I’ll ever really start again, but Hello Emerson inspired me to make at least one post. Therefore here’s a very quick music video entry of songs that I love. Starting with that beauty of a song from Hello Emerson. Their new album To Keep Him Here will come out on the 29th of March and the latest single called Church was accompanied with the ..read more

Another a bit delayed quick new music weekly. Big release week, because one of my all-time favorite bands has a new album out there.
