VV Torso - "LPVV" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere
The band rip and convulse like a wild animal, unleashed and rabid, scraping and gnashing it's teeth with ear-bleeding distortion and violent rhythmic shifts. At the center of their blistering attack is Natty Morrison, the band's charismatic frontman; part brilliant poet, part psychotic carnival barker.
Sleater-Kinney - "Live In Paris" | Album Review
Bad History Month and Patience In "Pessimysticism"
Bad History Month rewards patience, in just about every sense of the word. It's been three years since Sean Bean released new music and four years since his last full-length with Fat History Month, but for those who have been patiently waiting, the end of that recorded silence has finally arrived in the paralyzing existentialism of Dead And Loving It: An Introductory Exploration of Pessimysticism.
Bruiser Queen - "Sugar High" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere
Weaves - "Wide Open" | Album Review
Wide Open dims the manic lights of the rambunctious Weaves the world knew only a year ago, and this restraint proves necessary. A main theme of the album is the need for change; discussing its hardline, vital subject matter over arrangements as cartoonish as those on Weaves might have undermined Burke’s points.
St. Vincent - "Masseduction" | Album Review
Zula - "6 Passes" | Album Review
It’s a respectable challenge to describe Zula’s songs with anything other than abstractions: swirling, enveloping, trippy, blissful. 6 Passes feels somewhat more tangible, thanks primarily to a slight uptick in production quality; at their root, though, these are still loose journeys towards some higher state.
Ty Segall Band - "Slaughterhouse" (Reissue) | Album Review
OxenFree - "Machine" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere
Ada Babar & Kasra Kurt - "Nino Tomorrow" | Album Review
Splits can do many things for the artists who collaborate on them. They can give the chance to complement each other’s sound, highlight each other’s differences, or collectively explore a particular direction. On Ada Babar (Faun and a Pan Flute) and Kasra Kurt’s (Palm) Nino Tomorrow, we find two prolific musicians somehow doing all three simultaneously.
