Water From Your Eyes - "All A Dance" | Album Review

All a Dance, the band’s sophomore LP following an album and two EPs released in 2017, seems intent on destroying the line between post-punk and dance music with a smirk and a wink.

Bummerville - "C U Gone" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

"C U Gone," the record's second single is a blast of retro fuzz and howling garage rock riffs. Lynch's vocals are processed and heavily effected, saturating himself into the muck and grime of the song's jangly distorted pop.

Porches - "The House" | Album Review

January 19, 2018

by: Dylan Pennell

Reviews

Toted as “a conscious effort in minimalism and honesty” and the “immediate sensations” of frontman Aaron Maine, the album not only wrestles with the raw wounds of his own internal conflicts, but also the detritus of love lost.

First Thought Worst Thought - "Cody" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Grief wafts off of new single "Cody". Beavers can only make it about 30 seconds before words escape him, something felt beyond words wanting to express itself.

Dreams vs reality, disappointments, things not always being what they seem, what qualifies as a life worth living, the end, these are the things that occupy the album’s mind.

Date Stuff - "Date Stuff" | Album Review

Black and Bernasconi demonstrate predictable unpredictability, executed neatly and skillfully with each turn of phrase. Somehow, knowing that this feeling of uncertainty can be transformed into something as beautiful and interesting as this EP is a comfort.

Dove Lady - "E" | Album Review

January 15, 2018

by: Jasmine Bourgeois

Reviews

The intense chemistry between the two is palpable. They aren’t afraid to experiment or be loud; they make noises that are weird and fun. Jumping between punk, surf, and math rock with hints of jazz and drone, this EP is truly experimental in all senses of the word.

Shamir - "Revelations" | Album Review

January 12, 2018

by: Kenny Ramos

Reviews

Revelations was released by Father/Daughter Records and sounds more like a lo-fi indie album than what we’re accustomed to, but don’t think for a second Shamir’s songwriting is any less potent when no longer accompanied by big-time producers.

Flight Habit - "Glorified Hill Myna" | Album Review

Glorified Hill Myna is beautiful in its simplicity and smart in its reservation. There is no attempt at over-explaining or complicating these songs. The parts of each one are laid bare and stacked to create an ethereal ten song album full with sincerity.

Free Pizza - "The Sky Is Our Mirror" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

The song's video, directed by the band's own Jesus Vio (bass/vocals), is a performance art piece combining dancers and puppeteers, flailing about in unison with a carefree attitude that matches the song's wistful tone and feelings of togetherness.

Cup - "Hiccup" | Album Review

January 9, 2018

by: Myles Dunhill

Reviews

Fused with the raw vigorous immediacy of searing garage punk, there is most certainly a primal component to Cup that easily transposes those formative experiences of making sense of the world and then dishing it back out onto itself.
