The Cradle - "Press B Now" | Post-Trash Premiere
Flexing his experimental inclinations, The Cradle will release new album, Sense Stats, on January 30th, an album seemingly constructed on dissonant loops, waves of thumb piano, compressed electronics, and hypnotic avant-garde compositions. Everything feels manipulated, bent, and reshaped with alien aplomb.
Tosser - "Wishful Thinking" | Post-Trash Premiere
YlangYlang - "Our Provisional" | Post-Trash Premiere
The experimental Montreal based solo project of Catherine Debard is set to release their latest album, Interplay, on January 31st via Crash Symbols, a gorgeous and serene look into the self by way of the outside world. By using elements of jazz, new age, psych, and ethereal pop music, Debard is album to create something that feels beamed down from another plain on existence.
Light Beams - "Sacred Scales" | Post-Trash Premiere
After releasing a self-titled EP, the trio are set to share their full length debut, Self Help, out January 31st on Don Giovanni Records. The album feels like a breath of fresh air, a reinvigorating listen after heaps of stale indie rock. “Sacred Scales” begins with a somber piano lead, a red herring that evaporates once the groove slinks its way in.
Nyxy Nyx - "Courtney" | Post-Trash Premiere
bcc: - "Once Was Lost" | Post-Trash Premiere
Following the demise of Brooklyn’s Doubting Thomas Cruise Control, vocalist/guitarist Bobby Cardos wasted little time before embarking on a new project. Out came bcc: (who you may remember from our podcast) and now the band are set to release their ambitious debut, A New Theory of Nothing and A New Theory of Nowhere, on 2/22.
Dog Park - "Fielder" | Post-Trash Premiere
Their latest single, “Fielder,” opens with a wonky and warped bit of dialogue (I think), slowed to an unintelligible pace that kinda sounds like adults talking in Peanuts. From their the tape runs and the band’s fried jangle comes seeping in, sounding as though the band are practicing in the floor below you.
Green and Glass - "Gabriel" | Post-Trash Premiere
With their album due out on February 14th via 11A Records, Green and Glass occupy a dazzling and unique space between orchestral beauty, studied precision, and evocative pop exploration. “Gabriel” is a fantastic example, opening with a serene harp progression that lends itself gorgeously to Stavros’ gentle vocals.
Moss Jaw - "Dry Remains" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Closing out 2019 with a premiere of their “Dry Remains” video, the album closer’s animated clip comes courtesy of Documavision, AKA Cloakroom’s Bobby Markos. With animated scenery and a constantly shifting atmosphere, the images fade in and out like a powerpoint slide with the most vivid collage beauty.
Wisebuck - "I Can't Change" | Post-Trash Premiere
Wisebuck, the latest project from Casey Weissbuch, feels like a fresh start, a new focused use of his energy. The band, comprised of Weissbuch, Matt Kursmark, Mike Sarason, Dylan Debiase, and Jon Degen, are set to release their debut album, Flyworld, on January 17th, a breezy “college-rock” and fuzzy pop record.
Alien Nosejob - "Television Sets" | Post-Trash Premiere
With two EPs bookending 2019, Alien Nosejob is set to release a new full length in 2020 and thankfully the wait is nearly over as Suddenly Everything Is Louder is due January 17th via Anti Fade / Drunken Sailor Records. If each unique and increasingly realized release has been leading up this, we’ve arrived at essential Alien Nosejob.
Wednesday - "Billboard" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
The Asheville, NC band are making introspective rock songs rooted in dissonance, caterwauling guitars, and ragged pedal steel. Their three guitar approach is big and blistering, but their music retains a gentle quality, one in touch with Karly Hartzman’s (guitar/vocals) thoughts and surroundings. It’s dreary pop music that isn’t afraid to get messy
Ghost Funk Orchestra - "Queen Bee" (Live at National Sawdust) | Post-Trash Premiere
After a string of exceptional shows ranging from support for A Giant Dog to the Emerging Music Festival in Bryant Park, the collective co-headlined National Sawdust, a carefully curated and ultra-artistic space that looks as dazzling as Ghost Funk Orchestra sound. The band made the most of the occasion, playing their first show as a fourteen piece band, complete with an extended string section for the evening.
Quiet Moves - "We'll Understand When We're Older" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Quiet Moves makes their introduction plenty clear on their debut EP We’ll Understand When We’re Older. It’s emo revival that's aged a little bit. The pop comes through clearly throughout the entire EP. Certain guitar lines or vocal inflections will crawl their way into your subconscious. Take a listen and decide for yourself.
Woongi - "Green M&M's" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Chris Cohen - "Green Eyes" (Polygänger Session) | Post-Trash Premiere
During the band’s European tour, they stopped in at The Netherlands’ Katzwijm Studio for a quick Polygänger Session, opting to share one of the record’s most elastic pop-songs, “Green Eyes.” The live version is flat out pristine, with Cohen and co. bringing a desert breeze of psych into the room’s wooden frame, locked in and mellowed out.
Personality Cult - "Pressure Point" | Post-Trash Premiere
February 14th will see the release of New Arrows, their sophomore album and first with Dirtnap Records. Produced by Marked Men/Radioactivity’s Jeff Burke, their first full band effort should have the punk underground swooning long past Valentine’s Day. The record is near flawless and easily repeatable.
Bruise Bath - "The Veil" | Post-Trash Premiere
Lost Boy ? - "Peace Sign" | Post-Trash Premiere
