Goshupon - "D Boy" | Post-Trash Premiere
Kian Sorouri has played in a lot of great bands, contributing as a member and collaborator through the years to Loose Tooth, Golden Apples, and Cave People. With Goshupon, the Philadelphia based musician is moving into a lead role, bringing to live his own songs, recorded piecemeal with friends at home and in studios around town.
R. Ring - "War Poems, We Rested" | Album Review
Over a decade into their partnership, Kelley Deal (Breeders) and Mike Montgomery (Ampline) feel continuously in sync. The two have extensive history as friends, colleagues and musical partners. Pulling from their individual artistry, R. Ring represents a satisfying detour that allows for at will experimentation and forward-thinking jams.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Borzoi - "Neither The One Nor The Other, But A Mockery Of Both"
After five long years, the trio return with Neither The One Nor The Other, But A Mockery of Both, a new EP, surprise released without fanfare via 12XU. The title, a reference to the fact that the record was re-recorded several times over the past few years, is a gift of their debased sense of humor, a sign that the years haven’t left them embittered.
Meg Baird - "Furling" | Album Review
Furling is a work of pure artistry; A no gimmicks, straight-up gorgeous folk record that’s perfect for keeping you company on a long, contemplative drive. Meg Baird has always been a great artist, but this feels like a big leap forward for her sound. Her addicting style of psychedelic folk will have you constantly coming back for more.
Strobobean - "Kitchen" | Post-Trash Premiere
Cincinnati’s Strobobean are the very definition of electricity. Since forming in 2018 by Katrina Eresman and Jake Langknecht, they’ve wasted no time in introducing the world to their unique sound. Now, they welcome Rae Fisher into the fold as their new bassist and are ready to conquer the dance floor with their new single “Kitchen”.
The Enduring Legacy of Moss Icon: An Interview with Tonie Joy | Feature Interview
Tonie Joy, Moss Icon guitarist and the unofficial caretaker of the band’s story, has a grounded perspective on Moss Icon and the singular music they made. No, the band wasn’t trying to sound like anything, or invent anything. Rather, it was an escape for Joy and his bandmates, a way to cope with a world that felt volatile and chaotic.
babybaby_explores - "Food Near Me, Weather Tomorrow" | Album Review
Tetchy - "Smaller / Better" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
When a shift in Tetchy’s line-up led to an uncertain future, Maggie Denning decided to write and record home demos on her phone, a simple exercise to keep the creativity flowing. Those demos took on a life of their own, taking shape as the latest Tetchy record, the minimalist and psychedelic Smaller / Better EP.
Terms - "First Existential" | Post-Trash Premiere
Mui Zyu - "Rotten Bun For An Eggless Century" | Album Review
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (March 6th - March 19th)
FACS as Facts as Faxs | Feature Interview
After about 45 minutes of sensory overload, Chicago’s FACS fissles down.. The three fierce yet jubilant players are grateful, but also stoic. They’re punk rockers playing psychedelic post-punk that overwhelms the brain, making bodies move in ways it usually wouldn’t and probably shouldn’t among strangers.
Ulrika Spacek - "Compact Trauma" | Album Review
How do you sort the recording of an album when everything seems to be shutting and places feel alienated? Ulrika Spacek’s latest album, Compact Trauma, arrives as a sharp, psych-blowing, krautrock-flavored manifest of a band coming back to surface after a self-imposed banish and overcoming the strangeness of its own ethos.
Public Interest - "Residue" | Post-Trash Premiere
Spiritual Pollution, due out April 7th via Erste Theke Tontraeger (Pinch Points, Crisis Man), takes everything that made the project’s debut an underground favorite and expands on the ideas with added muscle, live drums (courtesy of Andrew Oswald) and a refined sonic focus that adds clarity without stripping the raw tension.
@ - "Mind Palace Music" | Album Review
What started as a collection of iMessage demos sent back and forth between the two in 2021 eventually became a full-blown collaborative effort. While easy to describe as “timeless,” there’s a subtle modernity poking through nearly every moment of the ‘70s inspired homespun folk songs on Mind Palace Music.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Shana Cleveland - "Manzanita"
Shana Cleveland described her third solo record, Manzanita, as “a supernatural love album set in the California wilderness,” a succinct description that sets both scene and mystifying tonality. The natural essence of the woods, mountains, rolling hills, and open skies, are apparent not from setting but from sound.
Connections - "Bird Has Flown" | Post-Trash Premiere
Blonde Revolver - "Good Girls Go To Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere" | Album Review
Good Girls Go to Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere is the full length debut from Melbourne punk sextet Blonde Revolver, an album rife with venomous jabs and unabashed innuendo and ribald. The record has a ferocious bite and a relentless energy through ten songs that weave through touch points with passion on all fronts.
