New Must Listens handpicked by CJSR’s Music Librarian

From all the new music added to the station’s collection between February 18-24, 2026

Ken Park – Ken Park [Todo]
New York, NY     Rock/Pop
Bedroom recordings but I find the sound rough and sharp and thick in a good way. Reminds me of music from when I was younger.

Midori Hirano – Otonoma [Thrill Jockey]
Berlin, Germany        Experimental/Ambient
Skillfully composed ambient music with simple ingredients for each song.

Peaches – No Lube, So Rude [Kill Rock Stars]
Berlin, Germany        Hip-Hop/Rap
Very fun sexual hip-hop, as we like it.  

Parallel – Frail [Self-Released]
Montreal, QC        Rock/Pop
Sleepy bedroom indie for lying down and thinking.

Photokem – A Mat In The Garden EP [Crafted Sounds]
Austin, TX        Rock/Pop
I feel like they’re trying hard to make art but that’s how you get things done! Wooly structures and assertive singing over pretty instrumentation.

Bennett Mitchell – Rearranging [Self-Released]
Calgary, AB        Rock/Pop/Folk
Confident, thoughtfully designed songs in a variety of interesting arrangements.

Altin Gün – Garip [ATO]
Amsterdam, Netherlands       World (Turkey)/Rock
Super tasty jams from Amsterdam Turkish psych rockers. Here they’re playing 10 compositions by Neşet Ertaş, a beloved icon of Anatolian music. And it all sounds so good.
