New Must Listens handpicked by CJSR’s Music Librarian

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

Kim Gordon – Play Me [Matador]
New York, NY        Rock/Experimental
Cool rough sound and not just a retread of what she’s done before. Includes some trap beats.


LatecomberStrophes [Self-Released]
St. John’s, NL        Rock/Pop
Confidently laidback and confidently esoteric bedroom rock. Plenty to hold your attention.


VerttigoTomorrow Is Gone [Self-Released]
Edmonton, AB        Rock/Pop
Long-coming album from Verttigo but with a new singer. I like the sound of it. Each song has its own steady, hypnotic pace. Obviously they put on an 80s goth persona but there’s earnestness in the music.


Blckfriend Lonestar [Babygrande]
New York, NY        Hip-Hop/Rap
Sinister in a horror movie way but I like the rhythm and play of it.



MaroMaro – Full Moon [Self-Released]
Łódź, Poland        Rock/Pop
A schmaltzy, broadly appealing quality to the songs and drums that punch you in the face but I genuinely like the sound of the guitar and his Retro Poland schtick.
