ERR spotlights new releases from Villemdrillem, Mart Avi and more

Villemdrillem has moved into house music, Mart Avi has released his first single in about two years, and The Weeknd is back after a short break, ERR reports in its weekly new music roundup. The article also introduces a new song by an artist whose name translates into Estonian as “Young Jesus.”

Lilaru and Rita Ray, “Johnny”

Lilaru still has no permanent singer. For the band’s second single, soul singer Rita Ray brings a bluesier, rootsier sound. The song was written by Lilaru bassist Lota-Loviisa Rohtla.

Modulshtein, “Sussus”

Modulshtein’s new single features Aleksander Paal and comes from the forthcoming album “Route 7,” due on December 12. The album will be released on vinyl in collaboration with the Glitch Please label. Other album contributors include DJ Bandit, Indrek Koff and Sanni Noormets.

Frankie Animal, “Call Me When We’re Both in Town”

Frankie Animal has released its third album, “Hearts.” The band describes it as its most mature and confident work. The songs have a stronger backbone and give the long-running group a clearer identity.

Mart Avi, “Barren Illusion”

The single is Mart Avi’s first since the album “Death of Music,” released with Ajukaja about two years ago. It shares its name with Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s 1999 film. The hypnotic track has a wandering, possibly apocalyptic feel.

Intrepid, “Becoming Infinte Suns”

Intrepid has released a second single from its EP, due on November 27. Unlike the track released a few weeks ago, which ran for more than nine minutes, the new song is a dark groove lasting about three and a half minutes.

Luka, “Idonwanna”

Luka released a single with East x West Records in the spring, but appears to have ended that partnership. Instead of the album announced for autumn, Luka has released a new bloghouse single that blends contemporary and retro sounds.

Macajey, “Two Waves”

Jeremy Macachor, a California native living in Estonia who performs as Macajey, has released his fourth album, “Silence Blooms.” It was made over the past two years. Macachor said he wanted to find small moments of calm and make music that would give him the energy to manage everyday responsibilities. The album combines softer indie and folk sounds with some electronic music, and closes with a ten-minute field recording titled “Kõrveküla.”

Laura Prits, “Missfit”

Laura Prits has released a new single and music video for people who feel they do not fit in, but belong among others who feel the same way.

Villemdrillem and Boipepperoni, “Keegi2veel”

Villemdrillem has officially entered dance music, working with Boipepperoni, who previously helped him enter the trap scene.

Mehkel, MC Effi, Emaj6eflow, Skiszo and Benakanister, “Kangem”

The track pairs ominous performances with an irresistible Memphis rap-style beat.

Ingmar Gailit and Berit Potman, “All In”

This softer Estonian-language track leans more towards R&B than rap. Berit Potman delivers the vocals.

Robin Koljak, “Autumn Wynde”

Robin Koljak has released the song “Autumn Wynde.”
