The Ophelias - "Spring Grove" | Album Review
The Ophelias are no longer a scrappy Cincinnati quartet, and they have the accolades to prove it. On their fourth album, lead singer Spencer Peppet sharpens her visceral storytelling skills to confront old ghosts and untangle conversations she only accessed in her dreams. Emotive and intimate, each of the thirteen tracks explores emotions far beyond heartbreak, instead touching on personal transformation and queer joy.

Minor Conflict - "Parallels EP" | Album Review
Parallels EP’s blurry presentation, its delightfully melodic shifts, and stark lingering moods create an intentionally deceptive listen. It’s an expansion on what the band has pushed forward, with so many manners of change and growth that are worth looking into as they progress.

Avery Friedman - "New Thing" | Album Review
Avery Friedman’s debut LP New Thing wants to scratch under the surface, to look at and feel the sensations of the unknown.

Slowing Down Without Stagnation: Talking Rhythm and Creativity with Perila
Alexandra Zakharenko’s music rustles with field recordings, spectral vocal traces, and the physicality of space in an endless pursuit of the true self. The St. Petersburg-born, Berlin-based artist chatted with Post Trash’s Aly Eleanor last November about soul bonds, taking your time, intimacy, jazz, and more.

Whelpwisher - “Same Mistakes” | Album Review
Whelpwisher’s Same Mistakes sees no need to bury technical skill beneath complexity. Ben Grigg is a songwriter who can seemingly churn out effervescent rock songs in his sleep. Whelpwisher is like the Chicago fuzz-pop Santa leaving songs at your front door. Same Mistakes is just the latest gift to arrive.
Tlooth - “Too Calm” | Post-Trash Premiere
Tlooth’s 2024 single signaled their impending reinvention, one of melody, restraint, and a bit more cohesion to their reinvigorated push-pull formula. Today, we’re premiering the leadoff cut “Too Calm” from their self-titled full length, an immediately gripping opener for fans of Sonic Youth, early Polvo, and finding the hook-in-the-hubbub.

Tunic - "A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung" | Album Review
Tunic’s A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung is a meatgrinder of syncopated distortion, clarity of grief, unfiltered lyrics, raw textured instruments, and hard hitting repetition. It’s no wonder this album of disparate sensations provides a release, a mode of muted catharsis as the sound they produce scratches at the air, grasping for it.
