We're happy to present "Post-Trash's Staff Picks: The Best of 2024" as voted by the site’s wonderful contributors (including their individual lists). With 25 of our writers submitting their votes, we had 372 different records nominated and only the top four records received a collected score of sixty or higher.
On Blue Skies, with the increased recording budget offered by Fat Possum Records, the group builds upon their sonic foundation for the first time. Synthesizers, shimmering guitar overdubs, and more vocal layers than possibly live-performable combine to transform the songs into larger-than-life versions of themselves.
As is often the case with a third album, the production levels have been raised. The sounds of Flower Of Devotion are glossier and crisper, the raw qualities of their indie-rock both softened and rounded. The new lushness will be more inviting to the casual listener but the basic premise of Dehd’s music is kept to satiate long-time followers.
