Beige Palace - "Illegal Backflip" | Post-Trash Premiere

On “Illegal Backflip,” the trio slink through a sparse and desolate rhythm, dragging itself forward with mangled guitar tones and a polyrhythmic beat delivered at a stuttered pacing. There’s a degree of Slint, a touch of June of 44, and even maybe a few Kong references in the slow sprawl and detached progressions, but Beige Palace create disorienting punk in their own primal way.

Kiwi Jr - "Salary Man" | Post-Trash Premiere

For years, Kiwi jr. were active in the Toronto scene while having a one-song demo as their only release. That’s about to change with their full-length debut for Mint Records, entitled Football Money. The second single, “Salary Man,” is a great showcase for Kiwi jr.’s catchy melodies and deadpan delivery.

This Is Lorelei - "We Are Taking You Home" | Post-Trash Premiere

“We Are Taking You Home,” the second single from The Mall, The Country, is a tender and reflective companion to the record’s first single, “Score Heal Score.” Where the latter was discordant and tangled in its own looped progression, “We Are Taking You Home” is a more serene and tranquil meditation.

Bungler - "Naps" | Post-Trash Premiere

“Naps” is a single from Moon, the follow up to the recent The Sun Shines From Very Far Away. “Naps” begins with echoes of Modest Mouse with its slightly off kilter vocals, banjo and pinging guitar, but veers completely into the nonsensical melody realm of Jack Stauber in the second half of the short song.

Bananagun - "Do Yeah" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

Set to release their debut single Do Yeah on February 15th, their sound is a psychedelic trip down the rabbit hole, a vision of the past swirling in every direction. Melbourne’s Bananagun (featuring members of Parnsip and Frowning Clouds) let it rip with a freaky groove from the start, there’s a hit of the gong and it’s all hypnotic from there.

Boon - "Jasmine Seeds" | Post-Trash Premiere

Boon - "Jasmine Seeds" | Post-Trash Premiere

Boon’s art-pop sound is in fine form on the kaleidoscopic “Jasmine Seeds,” a deeply layered effort that plays with repetition and looped vocals just beneath the song’s concurrent verses. It’s psychedelic pop with a lot to take in, but an easy atmosphere in which to do so, the effect nearly sounding like two songs played together in unison.
