Pill - "The Dull Tools Tapes" | Album Review

Pill is rarely an easy listen but they’re always a vital listen. It’s music you can move to, while never checking out. They’re a band that is needed now more than ever.

Giving Up - "April Showers" | Post-Trash Premiere

The rough hewn jangle plays well with their Midwestern roots, their sound balanced somewhere between reckless and brilliant. Set to head out on the road this Summer, the band are sharing a new video for "April Showers".

Cup - "Jitter Visions" | Album Review

May 7, 2018

by: Myles Dunhill

Reviews

Jitter Visions, the continued expansion of Tym’s splintering vision might be the strongest batch of tracks yet. The integration of sci-fi synth lines and textures skew the overall sound of the record into more outward terrain while the subject matter straddles the bizarre and the terrestrial.

Parlor Walls - "EXO" | Album Review

May 4, 2018

by: Pat Pilch

Reviews

Parlor Walls’ latest strays away from the notable jazz undertones found on their previous material, favoring the grating sonic proclivities of avant and post punk acts like Exploded View, PJ Harvey, and Sonic Youth.

Lawn's full length debut is a special record, as adept in post-punk jangle as it is radiant retro-tinged psych-pop. The New Orleans based duo are putting songwriting first, and heading wherever that may lead them second.

Grouper - "Grid Of Points" | Album Review

Grid of Points, in its brevity and faintness, sounds elegantly withdrawn, as most tracks deteriorate beautifully into sonic nothingness.

Nate Terepka - "Listen Alone" | Post-Trash Premiere

Best known as one half of the core creative force behind Brooklyn psych-pop luminaries Zula, Nate Terepka is stepping out on his own with Sunlight Farm, a new solo EP that fittingly enough is a reflection on isolation.

Half Waif - "Lavender" | Album Review

Reviews

Plunkett and company's emotional and musical growth is very clearly evident on this record that possesses a sense of beauty in the dark moments that most may miss. There's still a bit of a cool distance to work through but there's an underlying warmth here that is fully engrossing and quite honestly moving.

High Pony - "Dolphins Cry" | Post-Trash Premiere

"Dolphins Cry” is the album's first single, a rip roaring burst of aggressive fuzz and shredded joy. The song's catchy melody is juxtaposed by vocalist/guitarist Seth Goldman's throat shattering yelps, creating abrasive verses that subside into calm hooks.

Thanks to their patience, their eponymous debut sounds self-assured and distinct, with dirty guitars that take surreal but playfully smart turns.

Speedy Ortiz - "Twerp Verse" | Album Review

For a band who have thus far given us several stellar iterations of the same thing, Twerp Verse is a lot of different things. It’s the “speedy ortiz online presence?” to the band’s @speedyortiz discography, offering plenty of breathing room for Dupuis’ pop-leaning proclivities while continuing to consider the established personality of her surrounding band.

Czarface & MF DOOM - "Czarface Meets Metal Face" | Album Review

To its credit, it’s a lighthearted wet dream for hip-hop fans who crave straight-forward beats, the wry witticisms of Doom, Inspectah Deck, and most notably Esoteric, and the old-school comic book humor at play on some of Doom’s finest releases.

Cindy Lee - "Act of Tenderness" + "Malenkost" | Album Review

Cindy Lee is the nom de plume of Calgary's Patrick Flegel, who at this stage is still much better known as singer and guitarist of their former group Women. Malenkost and Act of Tenderness, both originally released in 2015 and disseminated by Flegel himself and Vancouver's Isolated Now Waves respectively, have been re-issued by Superior Viaduct.

They Are Gutting A Body Of Water - "Fake Twenty" | Post-Trash Premiere

The song is heavy, both musically and lyrically, cutting through layers of distorted guitars. The video, directed by Rachel Levin, is a combination of VHS footage and scattered images that perfectly complement the bleakness of the song.
