Hot Wax
New Must Listens handpicked by CJSR
From all new releases for week of October 6 – October 12, 2025
SANAM – Sametou Sawtan [Constellation]
Beirut, Lebanon World (Lebanon)/Rock/Jazz
Strong collection of free jazz, Arabic folk, and avant-rock noise. The slow parts makes me think of a dark blue desert night scene and the noisy parts rock.
The Dwarfs of East Agouza – Sasquatch Landslide [Constellation]
Cairo, Egypt World (Egypt)/Experimental/Rock
Psychedelic mix of sick desert guitar, weird electronics and busy percussion. Has Alan Bishop from Sun City Girls.
Gruff Rhys – Dim Probs [Rock Action]
Cardiff, UK Rock/Pop
Chill mid-tempo sorta lo-fi Welsh songs by the Super Furry Animals founder.
Whitney K – Bubble [Fire]
Montreal, Canada Rock/Pop/Country
Welcoming laidback country-ish indie rock.
Sons of Sevilla – Street Light Moon [Ubiquity]
Seville, Spain Soul/R&B
Sexy production, talented musicians.
