New Must Listens handpicked by CJSR’s Music Librarian

From all new releases for week of December 8-15, 2025

Oneohtrix Point Never Tranquilizer [Warp]
New York, NY      Electronic
Is it as good as his previous albums? Yes! Inventive and immersive synthetic soundscapes. Interesting enough to think about if you want or you can just let it set you down in a very pleasant place.


Keaton Henson – Parader [PIAS]
London, UK      Rock/Pop
A little apologetic but he words it well. It’s like Sufjan in a number of ways but less multi-instrumental and more straight ahead. Anyway, the guitar sounds good.

 


Sharp Pins –
Balloon Balloon Balloon [K/Perennial]
Chicago, IL     Rock/Pop
60s in a remarkable way, actually. Like one of those contemporary Beatles imitator/competitors.

 

NOTABLE EDMO RELEASE


Far Out AgainAnywhere’s Better Than Here [Self-Released]
Edmonton, AB     Rock/Pop

 


Tune-in to Catalog Jam
