Fantasy of a Broken Heart | Feature Interview
Bambara | Feature Interview
While Bambara’s previous albums offered an exquisite mix of noise rock violence with bluesy tenderness, Birthmarks combines the two into an icey and precise slab of spine-chilling noirish decadence. Post-Trash’s Devin Birse sat down with Bambara to talk about what motivated Birthmarks’ sound, and the research behind its complex tale of murder, love, and reincarnation.

Crawling through the Sludge: Chat Pile Interviewed
In recent years, few bands have put noise rock on the map to the extent Chat Pile has. Their excellent second LP Cool World is a glorious mix of gothy riffs, nu-metal rhythms, and raw vocals that carry the torch for Albini-influenced noise into an even gnarlier new era. Right before their European tour, Post-Trash sat down over Zoom with Chat Pile to discuss horror in the digital age, the history of the Oklahoma City scene, and their new record Cool World.

Over the past few years, Porridge Radio have become one of the most exciting bands, consistently putting out excellent records.

The Stiletto Edge Between Innovation and Emotion: An Interview with Xiu Xiu
There’s no better evidence for why the band has stayed so relevant than their mind-altering new album 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, an astounding slice of psychedelia-tinged noise-pop. Music is more than mere purpose to Jamie Stewart but intrinsic to their life just as it is to the listeners.

William Basinski and the Music of Time | Feature Interview
It’s hard to imagine a larger gulf between an artist’s persona—in Basinski’s case: joyous, bawdy, mischievous—and work. Basinski’s decaying tape loops are desperately lonely and beautiful, yielding one of ambient music’s most influential works, The Disintegration Loops, among many others. Attending a live performance of the work is akin to experiencing a new sense.
