The Drums - "Abysmal Thoughts" | Album Review

With Abysmal Thoughts there’s just enough dark and light, and just enough ups and downs. Existing among his sharp and playful guitar riffs and brooding lyrics, Pierce demonstrates a silver lining even in the worst of times, within the depths of even the most destructive thoughts.

No Friends - "No Friends" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

No Friends' songs pilot a nocturnal wasteland in which anxieties aren’t tense and frantic, but slow-building, and all-consuming. The Hudson valley-based quartet have evolved their sound on No Friends, pushing the band’s familiar experimental slow-core sound into new territory.

Crumb - "Locket" | Album Review

July 26, 2017

Reviews

On Locket, Crumb operates somewhere within a cloudy-but-clean pop/jazz realm. Although only a short 4 tracks, the band packs in enough variance and polish to give the EP as much longevity as a full length album.

Teton - "Gay Honey" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

"Gay Honey," the album's second single, is three minutes in off-kilter synth pop heaven. Haunting, breathily articulated vocals hover haphazardly over a syncopated synth riff; the melodic lines pushing and pulling against a straight-ahead rhythm section.

Cruel Summer - "Dusted" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

"Dusted," one of the record's many stand-out moments is a great introduction to their distorted bliss. Thea Chacamaty's vocals rattle on top of dreamy guitar surges and sharp rhythms, stripped of its edges and melted into a soupy delight.

Nina Ryser - "I Hope All Of Your Dreams Come True" | Album Review

Much of it is atonal, there are some unapologetic choices of timbres, and the “beat” can feel hard-to-tap-your-foot-to, but there’s something beautiful distilled in the vulgarity of it.

Mountain Movers Share "Angels Don't Worry" Video + Tour Van Playlist | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

The video for "Angels Don't Worry" and its warbling acid turned Americana melodies, captures life on tour as if watching from the band's passenger window, whirring by their surroundings but able to capture the sweetest moments to memory.

Morus Alba - "Human Resources" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

“Human Resources,” which Rudin describes as the story of “an absent parent” will be included on Morus Alba’s next studio release. The song, one of the band’s most impressive to date, relies heavily on Rudin’s voice, which boasts exceptional range, for its emotional highs.

Buck Gooter - "100 Bells" | Album Review

The bombast of the drumming is the great constant through this new release as Terry Turtle growls on a topics ranging from struggles of faith, to war and politics, to nearly outsider rock novelty with an ode to the hooved.

Coca Leaf - "Deep Marble Sunrise" | Album Review

On this record, the men of Coca Leaf clearly intend to diversify, both in terms of instrumentation and a more experimental stylistic approach. Indeed, each of the LP's six tracks seem intent on taking a wildly different tack and the result is a satisfying, often thrilling trip of an album.

Alexalone - "Planet Dust" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

With a driving rhythm and thick distortion that recalls 90's "space rock" legends like Hum and Failure, "Planet Dust" is sleeker than anything we've heard from Alexalone in the past, blurring by in warped-space with layers of guitar bliss that draw equal parts from pop and shoegaze.

Trash Temple is as filthy as it is reckless but for all it's unforgiving grunts, squalls, and mutated riffs... Dog is surprisingly melodic underneath the carnage.

Space Camp - "Force Femmed" | Album Review

Force Femmed is a glorious trainwreck from start to finish - the trio’s synchronous snarling about masculinity is appropriately accompanied by Cameron Lovett’s equally-angsty bass, Sam Usifer’s crashing drum kit, and Jon Whitlin’s impetuous keys.

Sheer Mag - "Need To Feel Your Love" | Album Review

Sheer Mag does not stray far from the established formula. The tight, punchy guitar interplay of Kyle Seely and Matt Palmer sit on top of a versatile rhythm section. Tones are locked in and Tina Halladay’s classic howl is commanding and evocative.

Jock Gang - "Alma" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

With a vibe that calls back to Velvet Underground while pushing forward into detached post-punk territory, Jock Gang have a grasp on both noise and pop, favoring the former but a glimmer of the latter goes a long way.

Hooded Fang - "Dynasty House" | Album Review

Dynasty House contextualizes their unconventional instrumentations by spinning tales of their ancestors’ sacrifices in the face of oppression and their families’ successive struggle to assimilate as immigrants in a country (and artistic community) where racism and genocide are addressed with ignorance and apathy.
