by Post-Trash Staff

As we all head into the weekend, we’re happy to share a few of our favorite new releases, out this week (in splendid alphabetical order). The write-ups are all “tweet sized,” kept brief in the tradition of our old new release thread. There’s a lot of great music out every week and these are but some of the many we think you should check out.

Featured

AMY O | "Mirror, Reflect"

Winspear Records
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Bloomington's Amy O returns with Mirror, Reflect, a new set of indie pop smash hits that arrives following her entry into motherhood. Fuzzy and full of charm as bright as a solar eclipse, the songs will stick in your memory long after the album is complete, the home recorded sound only complimenting her infectious melodies.

CLIMAX LANDERS | "Zenith No Effects"

Gentle Reminder
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Brooklyn band Climax Landers is back after six years with Zenith No Effects. The beloved group surveys each of their sensibilities to create an irreverent but invigorating record, a hot air balloon of an album, for its memorable cast of characters, big picture lyrics, windy gusts of riffs, and overall zaniness. - Sara Mae

CONWAY THE MACHINE | "Slant Face Killah"

Drumwork Music Group / Empire
Spotify | Apple

Conway The Machine has always been a rapper with the ability to adapt to his surroundings, but he's at his best when entrenched in the grime. Case in point his new album, Slant Face Killah, a hard as nails record that's most definitely diverse in beat selection, but captures the best of Conway's dangerous side.

EXTORTION | "Threats"

Iron Lung Records
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Australian hardcore band Extortion aren't wasting any time. Fifteen songs in eight minutes, Threats, the band's latest EP is a blistering blast of raw power violence that leans toward clarity into it's bruising momentum, a record that's far more nuanced than it's velocity might suggest.

LANE | "Receiver"

Illegally Blind
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Lane, the Boston based trio of Wes Kaplan (The Craters), Jolee Gordon, and Julian Fader (Ava Luna) return with Receiver, a buoyant collection of tangled indie rock and inventive art pop. Blending catchy accessibility with knotted technicality, the songs push and pull in a shimmer of unlikely hooks.

MARISA ANDERSON & JIM WHITE | "Swallowtail"

Thrill Jockey Records
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Jim White can't be stopped (nor should he be), teaming up again with Marisa Anderson for Swallowtail, a new collaborative album that finds their experimental explorations in symbiosis. Their interplay is calming and meditative, working in gradual movements that feel intuitive (and stunning).

PINK SIIFU | "GOT FOOD AT THE CRIB'!! VOL.2"

Dynamite Hill
Bandcamp

A month after the first installment, musical polymath Pink Siifu is back with his GKFam for GOT FOOD AT THE CRIB'!! VOL.2, a blend of jazzy R&B, introspective hip-hop, vibrant soul, and ethereal soundscapes. Delivered in a stream of conscious like a fever dream, it's warped but cohesive.

SOFIA BOLT | "Vendredi Minuit"

Born Losers Records
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Sofia Bolt (aka Amelie Rousseaux) returns with her second full length, the gorgeous Vendredi Minuit. The Parisian born, LA based songwriter adds a multitude of depth to her oeuvre, blending together dreamy pop, orchestral psych, and soft lit yé-yé grooves for an ever shifting lounge-tinged drift.

YOUBET | "Way To Be"

Hardly Art
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Brooklyn's youbet return with their highly anticipated second album, Way To Be, a record full of textural layered guitar and beautifully off-kilter melodies. One of the most exciting indie-centric-psych-art-pop bands making music delivers a record meant for attentive headphone listening.
