Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (November 4th - November 10th)
They Are Gutting A Body Of Water - "Destiny XL" | Album Review
Fern Mayo - "Week of Charm" | Album Review
Week of Charm is the sophomore release from Fern Mayo, the nom de plume of Katie Capri, following 2015’s Happy Forever EP and one that delivers a fuller more developed sound. Capri’s debut was a mix of agitated guitar pop along with sparse semi-ballads, whereas this new release is filled with lush and wave-like atmospherics.
Ganser - "You Must Be New Here" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Following Ganser’s 2018 debut record, we are pleased to premiere their follow up EP You Must Be New Here.The title for the EP is apt, as the listener moves across the various different versions of what a Ganser song can be. It’s a teaser, giving new listeners a taste in a digestible fifteen minutes.
Blue Ray - "Live Laugh Love" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Boston’s favorite blown out weirdos, Blue Ray, are back at it yet again, set to release, Live Laugh Love, on November 14th via Illegally Blind and Midnight Werewolf. Noted as their final album as a duo, the band’s sound has always been sort of the opposite of high definition, let’s lovingly call it “lo-def,” and they’ve never sounded better.
Guerilla Toss - "What Would The Odd Do?" | Album Review
Their last album saw the band embracing a slightly funkier sound, and this latest EP, What Would The Odd Do?, is probably the band’s most accessible music to date. They’ve rounded out some of the more aggressive, dissonant edges, but remain as engaging as ever, constantly finding new ways to surprise you and pull you in.
Parlor Walls - "Lunchbox" + "Spinning Gold" | Post-Trash Premiere
Following last year’s EXO EP (released via Northern Spy), the band are set to return with a new full length, Heavy Tongue, due out in February via the band’s own Famous Swords. Recorded together with Kevin McMahon at his Marcata Studios, the band continue to warp reality with artistic interpretations of all punk music can be.
Deliluh - "Beneath The Floors" | Post-Trash Premiere
Toronto’s Deliluh are getting ready to release their second record of the year, Beneath The Floors, a new full length to accompany this Spring’s Oath Of Intent. Due out November 15th via Telephone Explosion and Tin Angel Records, the art-punk band continue to dig into diamond tough post-punk and exuberant experimentation.
Parrot Dream - "Light Goes" | Album Review
It took the duo two years to write and record, and in that time they changed lineups and landscapes, moving from Santiago, Chile to New York, where Appel had lived previously. Now we look back on their record and its b-sides, released this past July, which together create a thorough fuzz dreamscape.
Gorgeous - "Egg" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
For Brooklyn duo Gorgeous, there are no straight lines on Egg, their debut album, but there’s a whole lot to grasp onto. Due out on November 8th via Sad Cactus Records, Dana Lipperman (guitar/vocals) and Judd Anderman (drums) pound through nine twisting and turning pieces of sweet yet sludgy math-rock.
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (October 28th - November 3rd)
Sean Henry - "A Jump From The High Dive" | Album Review
A Jump From The High Dive signals a change in Henry’s approach to songwriting. The melodies are as strong as ever, but his pop-forward approach is now married with a more patient ear for detail. Where Fink felt like it sprang out of Henry’s fingertips, A Jump From The High Dive feels more considered and carefully crafted.
Tang - "Real Dark" | Post-Trash Premiere
Following last year’s somber Super Happy, the band return with the equally heartbreaking Finding Peace, Isn’t The Point, due out December 5th via Art of the Uncarved Block. Arriving after a great deal of personal turmoil that included death and depression, the album finds Tang in pursuit of finding beauty in impermanence and sadness.
Vagabon - "Vagabon" | Album Review
Blood Ponies - "Submit/Surrender" | Post-Trash Premiere
San Diego duo Blood Ponies are gearing up for the release of their doom-punk debut Hoax. It’s due out 11/15 and the timing of the second single could not be more appropriate. Today we’re happy to premiere the chilling visual accompaniment to the equally unsettling “Submit/Surrender,” a ripping cut filled with white-knuckle melodies.
Stuck - "People Pleaser" | Post-Trash Premiere
Recorded during the sessions for the band’s upcoming full length debut but ultimately relegated to a b-side, “People Pleaser” is a big time post-punk corker that recalls early Protomartyr meets Gang of Four. The song opens with Obis and Green locked tightly together in wonky groove just before Walsh’s guitars come spidering in.
Curse Word - "Your Name" | Album Review
Your Name is Curse Word’s debut record, full of slightly angular and aggressive guitar work and a rhythm section that bobs and weaves around each other with aplomb. There are moments of bright pop that appear intermittently, but also a tension that ebbs and flows and keeps itself lurking wherever the melodies go.
Great Grandpa - "Four of Arrows" | Album Review
Lazy Legs - "Silkworm" | Post-Trash Premiere
Portland’s Lazy Legs are one of those bands who gracefully blend heavy sludge, doom pop, shoegaze, and slowcore to create something sonically immersive and oft-gorgeous. The duo are set to release their sophomore album Moth Mother on November 15th, an excellent record for anyone who misses the dog days of shoegaze.
