Month in Music: February 2026 Listening | Tommy O'Keefe Mixtape made from my top played albums in February with some brief thoughts attached.

I created a little mixtape of what I listened to in February and wrote a bit about music from Worm, Cryptic Shift, Gavran, and Cave Sermon. Give it a read, give the mixtape a listen and let me know what you think!

How To Eat is a very short / easy read. It’s broken into 1 or 2 page little paragraphs that have some sort of reflection or meditation on our relationship to food. I really enjoyed it!

Here’s my February reading wrap-up!

β€œThe Spear Cuts Through Water” was a stunningly beautiful read. I absolutely loved it.

β€œMore Everything Forever” left me with a lot to think about re: our current technocalypse.

Both are worth reading!
