New MUST LISTENS handpicked by CJSR’s Music Librarian
From all the new music added to the station’s collection between August 5-18, 2026
Ada Lea – The End Is A Wave [Next Door]
Montreal, QC Rock/Pop
Her skill with vocal melodies and song progressions turns what could be simple indie folk songs into something more creative
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Alien Metal [p(doom)]
Mebourne, Australia
Kind of annoying how many good albums they’ve made. This one’s done with a modular synth they had put together for a special “rave” tour. It sounds warm and round and they are good dance songs.
L’Rain – fata morgana [Mexican Summer]
New York, NY Experimental/Pop
Sparkling and airy slow music of various styles and structures.
BITWASHERE – R.I.P. BIT! [Self-Released]
Calgary, AB Electronic/Ambient
Searching, sad and open. Few constituent parts but they resonate well.
Kiwi Jr. – Blowin’ Up [Perennial/K]
Toronto, ON Rock/Pop
The kind of slacker whimsy that can come off as pretty fake if you aren’t as good at it as they are.
Radiator Hospital – Distorting Time [Lame-O]
Philadelphia, PN Rock/Pop
Rough and seemingly written and produced to be antagonistic to the listener but in an interesting way.
