MISZCZYK - "Lunar Days" (feat. Craig Fahner) | Post-Trash Premiere
Having shared a slew of great singles, MISZCZYK is unleashing “Lunar Days,” a collaboration with Motorists’ Craig Fahner. The song has an effortless chemistry, as MISZCZYK taps into a kinetic motorik pulse, pulling from the krautrock and jangle pop textures of Motorists, while offering something decidedly different.
Flasher - "Love Is Yours" | Album Review
Love is Yours’ is a much less angular sound than we have come to expect from Flasher. Priding themselves on collaborative songwriting, losing a member was always going to affect the musical direction but what’s resulted from that tectonic shift is some infectiously catchy music with signature vocal unison and harmonies.
Astrel K - "Flickering i" | Album Review
Flickering i is a strange and addicting album. Listening feels like watching as someone makes a thing piecemeal in front of you. Listening is like the feeling of being tailed by your own ghost. These metaphors for Flickering i may sound esoteric, but they’re reasonable descriptions after a few listens.
Debbie Dopamine - "Get Better" | Post-Trash Premiere
Despondent - "Other Girls Too" | Album Review
Jacob Turnbloom - "Balboa Park" | Post-Trash Premiere
April Magazine - "If The Ceiling Were A Kite: Vol. 1" | Album Review
The music is rich, anciently fresh, maybe altogether timeless, at least in its ability to capture a certain presence - an aesthetic dripped in honesty and the fruits of happy moments. What memories might be hashed in with a time of more relative freedom, surface in the emotional reaction, none-the-less.
Shilpa Ray - "Portrait of a Lady" | Album Review
The twelve track record is described as the punk dynamo's "most searing and personal album to date," and was penned "in the wake of the #metoo movement and the weathering years of the Trump Administration" as a means for Ray to work out years of personal abuse. It'll shake you to your core with glamor and violence in equal measure.
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (June 6th - June 19th)
Fashion Club's Pascal Stevenson on the Many Masks of "Scrutiny" | Feature Interview
In a literal sense, as a veteran touring musician with her band Moaning and as a sometimes-live-player with acts like Cherry Glazer and Girlpool, Stevenson is well-acquainted with performance and presentation. On Scrutiny, she draws on that musical experience to show its falseness as well as its potential to reveal deeper, darker truth.
Deliluh - "Fault Lines" | Album Review
Prior to relocating, Deliluh made brooding post-rock, with all the requisite guitar noise and deadpan spoken word lyrics it entails. The lineup change gives Deliluh the opportunity to diversify their pallet, embracing aspects of drone, industrial rock, and ambient, where Knapp’s poetry is able to shine more prominently.
Options - "Nothing" | Post-Trash Premiere
By the time Swimming Feeling, the new album from Seth Engel’s Options, reaches the point of it’s slinking finale, we’re fully engrained in his world, with slow drawn guitar buzz, rhythms that are always locked into service of the songs themselves, and a forlorn sense of melancholy feeling almost second nature.
Horse Jumper of Love - "Natural Part" | Album Review
Waste permeates the language of the album - trash covering room floors, skunks scavenging through garbage, half-eaten food, split ends of hair inside a plastic bag. This conflict between the lightness of letting go and the hard-won significance of sitting with disorder lingers at the corners of many of the songs’ impressionistic sketches.
Spirits Having Fun - "Silhouette" Video + Tour Dates | Post-Trash Premiere
The time has come for Spirits Having Fun to bring Two on the road, and their tour, together with the amazing Floatie, begins this Friday, June 17th (complete dates in post). A dream pairing of two bands we’re beyond eager to see live, Spirits Having Fun are celebrating the momentous tour with a new video for Two album opener, “Silhouette”.
Pet Fox - "A Face In Your Life" | Album Review
A Face in Your Life is their third full length and on this record the music continues to smolder with shockingly complex songwriting and a wonderfully flexible approach. There are tinges of early-mid 90's Dischord Records influences here but with a little more apparent vulnerability, interesting textures, and jazzy moments that spring up unexpectedly.
Angel Olsen - "Big Time" | Album Review
“Out With The Bangs. In With The Twangs” reads an ad for the latest Angel Olsen album, Big Time. Country music enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear one of Indie’s best songwriters bring her talents to the genre, while fans of her music will be pleased to know that this album is not simply an Angel Olsen album dressed in western trappings.
Dendrons - "Wait In Line" | Post-Trash Premiere
Dendrons are a Chicago five-piece who make spindly, propulsive post-punk that doesn't shy away from a bit of brawny catharsis. "Wait in Line," the second single from the band's upcoming sophomore album 5-3-8 - their first for Los Angeles label Innovative Leisure - mines the rich vein of krautrock to catchy and dynamic effect.
Haress - "Ghosts" | Album Review
Whatever Elizabeth Still and David Hand did musically before they moved from the bustling city streets of Liverpool to the hills of Shropshire was probably different (they say it was much louder) than what they came up with as Haress on Ghosts. The move also prompted a kind of musical collective, with Haress contracting and expanding.
Editrix - "Editrix II: Editrix Goes To Hell" | Album Review
Editrix Goes to Hell is such a compelling listen. There are always multiple things going on, sometimes the complete opposite of each other. Sometimes the album is sinister and other times it's sweet. It can be rough around the edges while still feeling completely polished. It never falters a single step, never wastes a single note.
