Bungee Jumpers - "Not Today..." | Album Review

Bungee Jumpers - "Not Today..." | Album Review

On Bungee Jumpers’ Not Today… it feels like we’re with them in the “studio,” watching every hacky joke penned, semi-sentimental moment built up, and hackneyed idea embraced with gusto. It’s a gimmick and it’s so not, and they ride the line perfectly across Not Today… to comment, critique, engage, and generally titillate listeners.

gobbinjr - "stars implode" | Post-Trash Premiere

“stars implode” opens with sustained synths, keys, and a gluey rhythm highlighted by gobbinjr’s bass progression. Just as you’re sinking into the song, things shift around, elements dropping out as others arise, the entire framework remaining in tact but the details fade and reappear in new shapes.

Shintaro Sakamoto - "Yoo-Hoo" | Album Review

Shintaro Sakamoto - "Yoo-Hoo" | Album Review

Yoo-Hoo is an album that masquerades as being the opposite of urgent. Hiding behind languid dips into bluesy surf chill and folky flute, it is in fact incredibly timely and temporal. On a 0° day in the heart of a frigid Chicago winter, some tropical, existential lucidity is exactly what is needed.

The Big Them - "Yellow" | Post-Trash Premiere

The Big Them - "Yellow" | Post-Trash Premiere

The Big Them are not fucking around with their physical, volatile, and heavy-ass approach to acidic punk. The band of seasoned noise veterans possess an inherent sense of melodic understanding and instrumental control. Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere the lead single “Yellow” from The Big Them’s upcoming album Four Colours.
