June 15, 2018

by: Dalvin Aboagye

Reviews

Snail Mail — spearheaded by 18-year-old Maryland native Lindsey Jordan — has come out of the gate running with a debut offering in the form of Lush. Jordan, the perfect example of the new breed of DIY performer, straddles the line between feeling mundane and personal in this record of youth in transition.

Winded - "Schwartz Goes To Heaven" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

The solo project of Thrin Vianale, their songs and gentle but never broken, sparse but fully realized. Schwartz Goes To Heaven is a stunning album built on gorgeous melancholy and a knack for surprises.

Reviews

The lyrical content has the trajectory of radical traditions in philosophy: the recognition of humanity’s deep seeded flaws, the transformative possibility of human potential, and the imperative to live this finite life ethically and with passion right now.

Palberta - "Roach Goin' Down" | Album Review

The New York trio’s follow-up to 2017’s Bye Bye Berta expands on their scribbled notes on tune arrangement, deconstructing pop into their own contorted delivery of lo-fi flings. Roach Goin' Down presents 22 songs that flail with an on-the-spot schizophrenia of ideas and movement.

Combining the raw, aggro approach of Wipers with the hyper-elated vivacity of The Replacements, Big Bite adopt a full-throttle punk approach, composed in tangent with scrappy DIY ethics.

Longface - "Pace" | Post-Trash Premiere

June 11, 2018

by: dan goldin

Premieres

It's a tremendous video that captures the character driven spirit of Longface via a psychedelic journey on a bunny (or at least a bunny at heart). The feeling is somewhere between sinister and carefree, a space the band's music rests comfortably in.

Religious Girls - "Power Pt. 2" | Post-Trash Premiere

Impressive drum fills backdrop hypnotic melodies, and over time the group find calm in the center of this chaos, only to tear it all down moments later, concluding the track with a stop-start, free-jazz freakout.

Howlin Rain - "The Alligator Bride" | Album Review

The Alligator Bride is the fifth release of the Ethan Miller led Howlin Rain, and it may be the bands most reigned in and tightened up record, or as reigned in as Howlin Rain can be.

Smut - "Rosewater" | Post-Trash Premiere

Will Henriksen - "Blank Space" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

Blank Space contains some of his most stripped-down and beautiful recordings yet. Recorded with what sounds like a four-track, there is a gentle warmth that permeates throughout the record.

Edgar Clinks - "Montreal" | Post-Trash Premiere

Leaning heavily on Joe Gaudiana's knack for warped psych slithering its way into otherwise jangly pop, "Montreal" is energetic, full of delicate harmonies, and layered with fun.

Miranda Winters - "The Futuristic District" | Post-Trash Premiere

Back in January, Winters treated us to "The Future District," a solo effort that stripped everything back and confirmed what we all knew, she's a gifted songwriter in any capacity, context be damned. That song has since been mysteriously pulled from Bandcamp, but we're happy to present it once more.

Thick - "Would You Rather?" | Album Review

Building on the rubble of It’s Always Something… their latest EP, Would You Rather? is an exercise in venting and escaping. It takes the fences and barriers they’re faced with, and obliterates them with an atom-bomb of pure aggression and unprocessed audio.
