Twine - "Same Old Problems" | Post-Trash Premiere
Hailing from Adelaide, Twine are set to release their second single, “Same Old Problems” on April 1st, a song that’s built on tension. The band’s sound is best described as a mix of emotional post-hardcore and atmospheric arrangements, bringing to mind a place somewhere between We Were Promised Jetpacks and Dirty Three.
Motherhood - "Ripped Sheet" | Post-Trash Premiere
New Brunswick’s Motherhood are back. The Canadian outfit’s just-announced Winded follows up 2019’s Post Trash-approved Dear Bongo. Today, we’re excited to premiere the video for “Ripped Sheet,” the upcoming record’s most clear cut punk number that follows lyricist Brydon Crain’s progression toward sobriety, happiness and “dry land.”
Oh Boland - "Cheap Things" | Post-Trash Premiere
With the band set to hit the road next month together with Protomartyr, seems the time is right for a new record, which brings us to Cheap Things. Due out April 8th, the album was written years ago while on tour in the US, but due to moves across Ireland and life getting the way, Niall Murphy and co. never released the record… until now.
Battle Ave - "I Saw The Egg" | Post-Trash Premiere
With four singles out in the world already, from the haunting “Core” and the breezy “Fool,” to the acoustic sweetness of “Maya” and the emotional heft of “Leo,” the album makes a great case for sonic diversity and the fragility of life, but perhaps all the album’s themes are best captured on the record’s title track, “I Saw The Egg”.
Grocer - "Mountain Home" | Post-Trash Premiere
Numbers Game is an eclectic record that builds upon last year’s Delete If Not Allowed, mining the sound of 90’s alternative rock but reshaping it for modern times. With the band comprised of three vocalists and songwriters, there’s a good deal of dynamics to their music, each one offering a different spin of the cohesive whole.
Vintage Crop - "Double Slants" | Post-Trash Premiere
Jeanines - "Don't Wait For A Sign" | Post-Trash Premiere
The band are set to release their sophomore album, Don’t Wait For A Sign, on April 22nd via Slumberland Records, a record that takes the formula of their already great debut and improves it in every way. The production is more radiant, the arrangements are top-notch, and the vocals are full of warmth.
Scrunchies - "Parallel" | Post-Trash Premiere
Scrunchies return with Feral Coast, their second album, due out April 1st via Dirtnap Records and State Champion Records. The new album picks up where the first left off, big enormous riffs (that often serve as hooks), melodic earworms cutting through the dissonance, and a heavy pummel that grinds with wall of sound density.
Posmic - "My Oh Mind" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Baltimore/DC project formed in late 2019, sticking together through a global pandemic and many, many, wildly convenient MARC train rides. Sun Hymns is the name of their brief and easy debut and today we’re premiering “My Oh Mind,” a warm and steady lo-fi pop number that shows how Posmic makes things look easy.
Spring Silver - "O Kristi" | Post-Trash Premiere
We’re premiering the Jhariah, Marco Sah, and Sam Goblin-featuring track “O Kristi,” a cutting punk number aimed at South Dakota governor Kristi Noem. A former South Dakota resident themself, they express disappointment and rightfully criticizes the representative’s voluntary decision to turn the state into a record-breaking COVID Petri dish.
Naja Naja - "Dong Dong" | Post-Trash Premiere
Naja Naja are a post-punk duo based in Beijing, China, set to release their self-titled debut EP shortly via Wharf Cat Records (US) and Bié Records (China). With their introductory single, “Dong Dong,” the duo of Gou Gou and Yuhao are creating music to escape within, experimental pop songs with a krautrock core.
EXEK - "Parricide is Painless" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Aside from the album’s stand-out singles, “Parricide is Painless” is another highlight, on an album that’s spoiled with them. The song opens with a slinky bass and clipped snares, the entire atmosphere given a Lynchian lounge treatment. The video, directed by Alexandra Millen, sits somewhere between surrealism and dread.
The Web of Lies - "RnR Resurrection" | Post-Trash Premiere
Feeble Little Horse - "Murphy's Law" + Gaadge "Tricks" | Post-Trash Premiere
To commence 2022, Feeble Little Horse have released an expanded reissue of Modern Tourism via Crafted Sounds. The new ten track EP features all the original material, unreleased demos, and a My Bloody Valentine cover. Here, Feeble Little Horse and label-mates Gaadge share covers of each other’s songs.
Star Party - "Shot Down" | Post-Trash Premiere
“Shot Down” is the album’s second single, a rapid fire blast of feedback riddled psych-pop. Despite the song’s hurried tempo, this one feels like classic jangle pop at its core, reminiscent of a grittier version of the band’s noted influences, The Shop Assistants and Black Tambourine in the sing-song melody.
Sonny Falls - “Wringing Out My Brain” | Post-Trash Premiere
Sonny Falls is back with the first single from their just announced full length Stoned, Beethoven Blasting. “Wringing Out My Brain” is the first preview from the Chicago-based project led by Ryan “Hoagie Wesley” Ensley. Written after nine months of no-gigs-a-go-go, “Wringing” is an impulsive celebration of collaborative creativity.
Bri Barte - "Hex Sign" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Hex Sign, the debut album from Ann Arbor via Nashville’s Brianna Bartelt aka Bri Barte has been a long time coming, but the album has a sense of nuance and grace far beyond your typical debut. WIth influences that include legends PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, Björk, and Cat Power, the collective strengths are channelled throughout.
Goon - "Fruiting Body" | Post-Trash Premiere
Set to release Paint By Numbers, Vol. 1 on February 25th, Goon have shifted away from the fuzzed out grunge-pop they are best known for in favor of something a bit more abstract and softly psychedelic. Together with a new line-up, it’s a welcome change that finds them shedding away generic edges and coming into their own.
Psychic Graveyard - "Strangest Hobbies" | Post-Trash Premiere
Psychic Graveyard are one of the best bands making noise rock in the US and they’re teaming up with USA Nails, one of the best in the UK, for a new split 12”. The bands are in fine form with eleven new songs between them, bringing different but complementary styles together for something viscerally aggressive and disarmingly disorienting.
