Wax Chattels Share "Clot" LP Influences | Post-Trash Feature
The trio make what they describe as “guitarless guitar music,” and their sophomore album, Clot, is full of strength and menace. Built on angular progressions, swelling noise, and a never ending avalanche of eery tension. Out now via Captured Tracks, Wax Chattels were kind enough to share some of the influences that lead to Clot with us.
Sad13 - "Haunted Painting" | Album Review
Haunted Painting sees a return to accessible hooks and abundant instrumentation but with much more focus, and refinement. Written and recorded during 2019, the record finds Dupuis chewing on some bitter pills of that year, both political and personal, and it unknowingly resonates very strongly amidst 2020’s glum backdrop.
Options - "Warm" | Post-Trash Premiere
The ever prolific musician, producer, all around swell fella is set to release his latest Options gem, Window’s Open, due out October 23rd. It’s another brilliantly somber record that blends intricate songwriting with a lo-fi warble that washes over Engel’s technicality like a blanket of accessibility.
Post Moves - "Karen's Ride With Grace" | Post-Trash Premiere
Sam Wenc has been going by Post Moves since 2012, and the project has got a new record coming out on Noumenal Loom at the end of the month. Today we’re premiering the Sandy Ewan-directed video for “Karen’s Ride With Grace,” a phantasmagorical sequence capturing Wenc’s union of digital and natural realities.
Cardinality - "Cardinality" | Album Review
Partners inside and outside of music, Sorrell and A.G.’s chemistry is apparent from the start of the album. Sonically, the album meanders from the ethereal to the severe all while synthesizing a wide range of influences derived from jazzy samples, electronic textures, soulful vocal melodies, and glitchy percussion.
Strangelight - "Effortless" | Post-Trash Premiere
Strangelight have their own lineage worth noting, featuring members of sludge stalwarts Kowloon Walled City and Transistor Transistor. They’ve come together and are ready to knock down doors with their enormous sound, built on Hot Snakes fueled punk and adrenaline, stomping and thrashing one moment, dense and thudding the next.

Godcaster - "Long Haired Locusts" | Album Review
Heir Traffic - "The Roman Road / The Bellows" | Post-Trash Premiere
Heir Traffic’s double single “The Roman Road / The Bellows” continues the Melbourne band’s dip into discordant post-punk. Recorded in Frankston by keyboardist Joe Nurrish, the singles strive to encapsulate their live performances - Mitchell spitting his poetic rambles, ever complimented by a barrage of drums and guitar.
Bartees Strange - "Live Forever" | Album Review
Suitor - "To Water" | Post-Trash Premiere
Ben Eisenberger - "See You On The Other Side" | Post-Trash Premiere
Bleary Eyed - "Spectre Run" | Album Review
Death Bells - "New Signs of Life" | Album Review
The record is an extremely well polished transformation for the band. It is a power house of hooky guitar melodies and bright 80s synth sounds, rounded out perfectly with the definitive baritone of Canning. They also seamlessly incorporate brass instrumentation on the album, harkening back to their Australian predecessors, INXS.
