Peaches, Dominique Fils-Aimé, NYSSA Lead The Release Roundup For February 20, 2026

Hey, did you know that past nominees Born Ruffians are part of the Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie universe? We mention that mostly to create flimsy justification to use this week’s Release Roundup to reaffirm how important and valuable Canadian made art is, how we’re pretty sure the last great era of the Internet™ ended around 2009 when “normal” people started figuring out how to use it, and how Matt Johnson memes are getting us through all this Olympics drama. Oh, and those dudes have a soundtrack out for the movie now.

Here are this week’s new albums:

* Peaches (Heritage Prize, 1x Long List) has released No Lube So Rude via Kill Rock Stars.

* Dominique Fils-Aimé (2x Short List, 1x Long List) has released My World Is the Sun via Ensoul Records.

* NYSSA (2x Long List) has released Cursebreaker via Six Shooter Records.

* Buck 65 (2x Long List) has released Do Not Bend.

* Heritage Prize winners The Tragically Hip’s Paul Langlois has released Smooth Rock Falls.

For your playlist refreshment needs, the mighty Tagaq has declared “Fuck War,” Heritage Prize honoree K-OS has found something in “EUREKA,” Witch Prophet says “Thoughts Are Magic,” there are new tracks from La Sécurité and Arielle Soucy and a new remix from Milk & Bone.

Do not jump off the CN Tower, you will die.
