"The Post-Trash 60" | Our Favorite Albums of 2018's First Half (A Mid Year Report)
Cold Clod - "Breaks Up" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Ben Currotto and co's latest takes a nuanced approach, still ripe with earnest emotions and dampened melodies, but increasingly vibrant, even in shades of grey. The band's new album is full of texture and auxiliary pleasures, something new to hear under each delicate layer, as stunning at its most stripped and lush.

Bleary Eyed - "Speaking Just Fine" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Sixteen months ago we said "Speaking Just Fine" was "at times hypnotic and others chaotic, the song building upon odd textures with dreamy dissonance and catchy vocals, swelling into a haze of collaged sound and experimental pop layers." This is still true... and the video takes a visual approach to much of the same.
Notches - "Perfectly" | Post-Trash Premiere
gobbinjr - "Ocala Wick" | Album Review
At first glance, gobbinjr’s Topshelf Records debut ocala wick reads like a collection of Nickelodeon-era silly bop theme songs for pals: it’s playful, inviting, charming, simple, and fun. But with a more sincere listen, the songs reveal themselves to be carriers of much more grave and weighty messages.
