New MUST LISTENS handpicked by CJSR’s Music Librarian

From all the new music added to the station’s collection between June 3-9, 2026

Mexican Institute of Sound, Meridian Brothers – Ruido Tovar [Ansonia]

Mexico City, Mexico          World (Cumbia)

Playful music rooted in Mexican tropical music of the 70s and 80s. I like the sounds, all plinky and dinky, and the “naive” melodies.

 

Little Barrie – Gravity Freeze [Easy Eye/Concord]

Nottingham, UK        Rock/Pop

Funky, psychedelic songs with killer guitar and classic sound to the recordings.

 

 

Of Montreal – Aethermead [Polyvinyl]

Athens, GA          Rock/Pop

Even his mid-range albums (like this one) abound in creative songwriting, satisfying production, pleasing melodies, and a sort of uncomfortably entertaining energy.

 

Kurt Vile – Philadelphia’s been good to me [Verve]

Philadelphia, PN        Rock/Pop

Comfortable rock music for lazing

 

Kiyoshi Nagata – Ghosts in the Forest [Self-Released]

Toronto, ON         World (Japan)

Evocative traditional Japanese music inspired by Japanese-Canadian internment.
