A swath of good music has appeared over the past two weeks without a Christmas tune in sight – okay, see the last post for a round up of that. Makthaverskan return with a brand-new single, which hopefully heralds a new album. Teini-Pää return with a new single that definitely heralds a new album, their second, next month.
