Open Mike Eagle & Kenny Segal - "DOOMED!" | Album Review

Open Mike Eagle & Kenny Segal - "DOOMED!" | Album Review

DOOMED!, the 45 year-old rapper’s collab effort with producer Kenny Segal, is as clever as ever. Hooks allegorize Street Fighter combos, allusions to Austrian physicists, and sardonic interpolations of Instagram lingo. What sets the record apart, however, is the painful intimacy with which that same wittiness is employed.

Chloé Jara-Buto - "Om-Om" | Album Review

Chloé Jara-Buto - "Om-Om" | Album Review

The French language splits the future into le futur and l’avenir. Le futur is the tense that belongs to the immediate, knowable future, but what Chloé Jara-Buto is concerned with on om-om is l’avenir. Unlike le futur, l’avenir is a tense that belongs to the unknowable future–or that which accepts the uncharted.

Spiraling to the Place - Emily A. Sprague Imagines An Entire Planet on "Cyano" | Feature Interview

Emily A. Sprague’s Cyano isn’t just an album — it’s an entire world. Sprague, perhaps best known for her folk project, Florist, expands her sonic world through modular synthesizers and hazy electronics, all of which come together to represent an imagined planet, Cyano.

Bimbo - "The Bimbonacci Sequence" | Album Review

Bimbo - "The Bimbonacci Sequence" | Album Review

The Bimbonacci Sequence is the full length debut of Marquette-based sibling duo Bimbo, a record that expounds upon the chaotic, wonky, and ever shifting psych-tinged noise and avant-pop path of their previous EPs. Gretchen and Dawson McKenzie push their music down crooked and gnarled paths with a sense of unpredictability and style that is often hilarious. 

Condensing and Stretching Time with Radiator Hospital | Feature Interview

Condensing and Stretching Time with Radiator Hospital | Feature Interview

Late last year Radiator Hospital was offered a touring opportunity, prompting him to tinker with the basic mechanics of his songwriting. Distorting Time chews up Sam Cook-Parrott’s foundations and sticks its thumb in the eye of an industry that rewards nostalgia over evolution.

Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr are back with their seventh studio album Hotel Usona, further expanding the sound they've developed over the years, rooted in their Detroit post-punk background. At its core, the record seems to be asking how much reality you can take before you start wanting to bend it.

Unsane Frontman Chris Spencer on Finding Peace of Mind | Feature Interview

Unsane Frontman Chris Spencer on Finding Peace of Mind | Feature Interview

Chris Spencer (Unsane, Human Impact) recently spoke with Post-Trash contributor Kurt Orzeck about life on the road, the strange attraction of noise rock, remastering the Unsane catalog, and the many pitfalls that lurked around every corner for a loud band in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

Claire Cronin - "Before the End of Time" | Post-Trash Premiere

Claire Cronin - "Before the End of Time" | Post-Trash Premiere

The Bruise is said to be inspired by doom metal and avant-garde drone, and while they might play into Cronin’s languid structures, they do not play into the sound. Emotionally heavy and weary of our world, her music is soft, gentle, and built around unflinching vocals and acoustic textures.

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra's first EP came out on La Vida Es Un Mus back in 2020, and Is It Really Living? is only the proper follow-up — five songs, eight minutes, no filler and no room for any. This isn't a band chasing momentum. It's a band that waited until it had something worth saying, then said it as fast as possible.
