Wooing - "In Colour" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

"In Colour," the EP's lead single is both quaint and explosive, delicate one moment and pummeling the next, an erratic journey revolving around the "wish to talk in technicolor" and the idea of your thoughts having their own feelings.

Water From Your Eyes - "All A Dance" | Album Review

All a Dance, the band’s sophomore LP following an album and two EPs released in 2017, seems intent on destroying the line between post-punk and dance music with a smirk and a wink.

Bummerville - "C U Gone" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

"C U Gone," the record's second single is a blast of retro fuzz and howling garage rock riffs. Lynch's vocals are processed and heavily effected, saturating himself into the muck and grime of the song's jangly distorted pop.

Porches - "The House" | Album Review

January 19, 2018

by: Dylan Pennell

Reviews

Toted as “a conscious effort in minimalism and honesty” and the “immediate sensations” of frontman Aaron Maine, the album not only wrestles with the raw wounds of his own internal conflicts, but also the detritus of love lost.

Grief wafts off of new single "Cody". Beavers can only make it about 30 seconds before words escape him, something felt beyond words wanting to express itself.

Black and Bernasconi demonstrate predictable unpredictability, executed neatly and skillfully with each turn of phrase. Somehow, knowing that this feeling of uncertainty can be transformed into something as beautiful and interesting as this EP is a comfort.

The intense chemistry between the two is palpable. They aren’t afraid to experiment or be loud; they make noises that are weird and fun. Jumping between punk, surf, and math rock with hints of jazz and drone, this EP is truly experimental in all senses of the word.

Shamir - "Revelations" | Album Review

Revelations was released by Father/Daughter Records and sounds more like a lo-fi indie album than what we’re accustomed to, but don’t think for a second Shamir’s songwriting is any less potent when no longer accompanied by big-time producers.

Flight Habit - "Glorified Hill Myna" | Album Review

Glorified Hill Myna is beautiful in its simplicity and smart in its reservation. There is no attempt at over-explaining or complicating these songs. The parts of each one are laid bare and stacked to create an ethereal ten song album full with sincerity.
