Purple Mountains - "Purple Mountains" | Album Review
Lunch Lady - "Sweet One" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Los Angeles’ Lunch Lady have arrived (or nearly arrived) with their full length debut, Angel, out August 23rd via the impeccable Upset The Rhythm. The band, comprised of former members of Abe Vigoda and Heller Keller, are digging deep into the 80’s jangle of both LA and British post-punk, leaning toward that western twang.
Queen Moo - "Faint Sounds Of Us Hanging Out" | Album Review
Mister Goblin - "White Fuckin Flag" (Dido cover) | Post-Trash Compilation Feature
On one hand, you can throw a Dido cover into the “surprising choices” catagory, but on the other, Mister Goblin’s rendition feels like it could have shown up on Final Boy. The original “White Flag” is a perfect pop song, gloriously overproduced and saturated with polish, but Woodring has reduced it all to double-tracked guitars and vocals.
Florist - "Emily Alone" | Album Review
Emily Alone is a Florist record through and through, despite being a solo effort. It’s also something more: it’s like a refined, evolved iteration of Sprague’s prior work, feeling more like a memoir than a diary entry. That sense of evolution comes through in the high production quality and a lyrical grounding in the present.
Floral Print - "Floral Print" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Two years removed from their full length debut, Atlanta’s Floral Print are set to release their self-titled follow up EP, this Friday, July 31st via Tiny Engines. In the years since they’ve been listening and learning, structuring and reconfiguring a sound that really does set its sights on undefinable.
Divorce Cop - "What?" | Album Review
Fuck Lungs - "Judgement Free Jazz" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
It’s jarring, frantic, and expansive, built on Joe Hess’ (Complainer) skittering drums and the skronk of Curt Oren’s sax and flute arrangements. That lack of accessibility lends itself to the concept of the “Judgement Free Jazz” video, a delightful clip of friends, peers, and strangers listening to the music and reacting as they might.
Thanks For Coming - "No Problem" | Album Review
Written nearly two years ago, recorded with a full band, compiled of 24 tracks, No Problem is wildly ambitious, and that’s even before you take into consideration the 24 music video counterparts, directed by 24 different teams! It’s an epic composed of private thoughts, pitch-black comedy, nuanced observations, and self-aware anxieties.
Snubbed - "Snubbed" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Maneka - "Devin" | Album Review
Discus - "Prodigal Son" | Post-Trash Premiere
Trash Kit - "Horizon" | Album Review
The technical prowess of Trash Kit, displayed in their ability to remain tight and clean throughout their most chaotic compositions, is enough to make Horizon an album worth praising. But Horizon accomplishes the difficult task of being an album that is immediately accessible, requiring no intense mental focus to appreciate and enjoy.
Dye - "Hostage" | Post-Trash Premiere
Kissed By An Animal - "Kissed By An Animal" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Drjuchin as lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist lets his love for 90s slacker guitar rock and dance punk shine on his new band’s first release. Crunchy power chords, big hooks, and searing guitar leads, all sprinkled with some chewy bits of sonic weirdness make this release a charming and strangely familiar listen.
Uranium Club - "The Cosmo Cleaners" | Album Review
With their new offering The Cosmo Cleaners, the Club take a more surgical approach to their trademark antsiness, tying themselves into tighter and more intricate knots than ever before. The group creates a compelling musical landscape solely out of sharp edges and punchy hits -- smooth sonic textures are truly few and far between.
