Guff in the Garden tells stories, totally subjective content-wise. Each track is more like a situation, with all the strange stuff Max Goldstein (drums) and Adam Bosse (guitar) toss together swirling around miasmatically for you to come wade through coughing and incorporate into your day’s dull manifold however you feel impelled to.
Johnny, the second full length effort from the New Orleans group Lawn, is a sprawling album with continuous shifts in dynamics that surprise the listener as the two main songwriters trade turns showcasing their distinctive but harmonious styles of songwriting. It’s an album of contrasting styles, at once pop and post-punk influenced.
Set to release their latest full length album, Alpha Hex Index, on November 20th via Hex Records, it’s another crushing addition to the band’s stellar catalog of noise punk records that simultaneously disgust and delight. It’s loud, aggressive, and willingly irritating, and it just melts our hearts with joy in the process.
Songs To Yeet At The Sun is the opposite of a cerebral experience. It’s instantaneous and immediate. You either get it or you don’t. If you want to do a deeper interrogation, all the lyrics are there for you on the Bandcamp page. Soul Glo is at its peak when the vocals become an instrument against the hardcore cacophony.
Gibbs has been on an incredible run, releasing at least seven great albums in the last decade, if not more. Alfredo certainly stands with the best Gibbs has ever released, and the same goes for The Alchemist. Few rappers have kept pace with Gibbs in recent years and few producers have been as prolific and consistent as The Alchemist.
If music is supposed to take one on a journey, this idea is something that Super-X takes literally. The Melbourne post-punk noise creators - composed of brothers Harrison and George Ottaway and drummer Kaelan Emond - take their listeners on a frenetic and buzzing journey around the world on their self-titled debut album
Little Ripple is the Omaha by way of Woodbine, Iowa based solo project of Ameen Wahba. Having released albums to Bandcamp at a prolific rate as well as toured as a member of Anna McClellan’s band, Staffers, and Thick Paint among others, the time has come for Wahba’s physical debut release, Kind Witness.
In the early 1990s, Chris Rowley was a vocalist and songwriter for the legendary Riot Grrrl/art-punk group Huggy Bear. Chris Rowley has now teamed up with John Arthur Webb and Kevin Hendrick (of Male Bonding and PRE) and 23-year-old drummer Sonny Barrett for a new band, Adulkt Life. Rowley recently answered some questions about their formation, playing in a multi-generational band, and their new album.
With their compact arrangements, short run times, and impressive musicianship, the tracks on Tower Of Age offer a refreshing return to form for post-punk. While the record may harken bands like Gang Of Four and Wire, the music they make never feels like a rehash of the acts that came half a century before them.
Media & Memory has time on its side; you can hear the hours that went into refining its nine tracks, boiling down countless practice sessions, hammering hooks, harmonies, and idiosyncratic drum grooves until they sit completely flush. Before the release, in the midst of coordinating a remix album and pre-recording of two live performances, the trio spoke to Post Trash about the process of excavating the album from hours of preparation.
Joyer are brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan who are quietly making some of the finest recent slowcore music. Their latest album, Sun Into Flies, is their third full-length and the first not to be self-released, instead being issued through Z Tapes, the Slovakian label run by Filip Zemcik which has become a byword for quality lo-fi releases.
Wendy Eisenberg’s reputation as a fixture within overarching New England DIY from the punk-adjacent Birthing Hips to hip compositions for the guitar and banjo have enshrined them with a singular maverick quality. Auto makes good on all those pieces, coalescing them into a dense sonic universe that you could fill a book about its pieces
Horsegirl is a trio of teens combining post-punk and shoegaze in their own design. The band formed a little over a year ago and have slowly been releasing singles, each one building on the promise of what came before. They’re off to an incredible start, with fully realized songwriting that is dense and alluring, falling away from pop structures.
