Fievel Is Glauque - "Simple Affairs" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Located out of Brussels, Zach Phillips teams up with the amazing Ma Clément, who handles all the vocals with an undeniable radiance. Together the pair worked with five large ensembles (over 30 musicians both familiar and new) to create the world of God’s Trashmen Sent To Right The Mess, the year’s first essential album.
All Feels - "We Love This For You" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
All Feels is the solo project of Candace Clement (Bunny’s A Swine, Footings, Psychic Energy). Her debut EP, Why Are You Like This?, is a departure from her other bands, instead opting for bedroom pop sound, one that’s built on meditative soundscapes and electronic rhythms. It’s futuristic pop with a minimal touch.
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (January 4th - January 10th)
Sonny Falls - "All That Has Come Apart/Once Did Not Exist" | Album Review
All That Has Come Apart/Once Did Not Exist is by no means a quarantine record, but rather a brilliant reflection of the present; as it was, is, and will continue to be. Sonny Falls’ latest puts our time-specific realities into perspective; what happened then happens now and will happen forever, everything all of the time.
Wren Kitz - "Into The House" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Waveless - "Cicadas Sing" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Mamalarky - "Mamalarky" | Album Review
Mamalarky is the self-titled debut of the Georgia via California quartet, filled with slinking grooves mixed with bright and flowing melodies that announce themselves loudly. Livvy Bennett’s vocals are a driving force in the pop concoction that pours forth, proving itself to be a surprising powerhouse collection of songs.
Joshua Virtue - "Jackie's House" | Album Review

Candy Andy / Crimson Blue - "You & Me" | Album Review
Spectral Voice - "Necrotic Demos" | Album Review
When Spectral Voice’s debut was released in 2017, they had five demos and two splits out in the world. By the album’s release they had perfected their concoction of death-doom metal. This strategy has not changed in the following years, part of what makes the Necrotic Demos compilation more compelling than it ought to be.
Soft Blue Shimmer - "Heaven Inches Away" | Album Review
On Soft Blue Shimmer’s debut album, Heaven Inches Away, the band crank up the fuzz, becoming less coltish and more stoic. Where their early work felt like a forgotten cut from the soundtrack to 10 Things I Hate About You, their latest plays more like a diegetic sound drifting in the background of a Greg Araki-directed scene.
Mourn - "Self Worth" | Album Review
Catalonia band Mourn have been making a name for themselves within the indie rock scene from quite a young age. The band members were in their teens when they released their self-titled debut album in 2015 on Captured Tracks. Mourn has continued to expand their post-punk sound and their evolution truly shows on Self Worth.
Post-Trash's Best of 2020 | Staff Picks
Allegra Kreiger - "The Joys of Forgetting" | Album Review
Waiting moments comprise an overwhelming majority of Allegra Kreiger’s The Joys of Forgetting. Awaiting good times sounds pretty terrific - so long as you ignore the desolation around you and the wreckage of the near and far past. For some, that is impossible. Call us empaths and/or annoying but these days, it’s tough to call us wrong.
We Are Joiners - "Clients + Carriers" | Album Review
Working with just an old BOSS BR1180 8-track, We Are Joiners recorded two EPs earlier this year. The New York independent label Totally Real Records saw potential in these: Clients + Carriers have been gathered into a double album, released on December 4th, and the decision makes sense upon listening.
Post-Trash's Best of 2020 | The Year In Review
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has arrived, with all the releases we’ve grown to know and love over the past twelve months, from the smallest of DIY tape releases to the buzz bands and beyond. It’s all here… mostly. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite records of the year without a pre-determined length.
Wren Kitz - "Early Worm" | Album Review
Wren Kitz’s music is tense with contrasts: with his sweet falsetto, he’s capable of working within traditional folk song structures; as a student of tape recordings, he also dissolves himself into mysterious noise. Early Worm, is carefully constructed, going from more traditional forms to the hiss of lo-fi feedback immediately afterwards.
Airhead DC - "Busted Sermon" | Album Review
Contrary to Airhead DC’s previous release, the reflectively dense Crush Hi, the goal was to create something simple, dreamy, and capable of being recorded on a four-track tape recorder, he said. To his credit, the resulting effort, Busted Sermon, which is just six songs long, accomplishes that rather admirably.
