The Pauses - "Unbuilding" | Album Review

Unbuilding, their latest record, listens like a list of requests as if the band were trying to run a real-life operating system; a series of DOS commands for humanity.

Media Jeweler - "Outside Again" (Live at White Sands) | Post-Trash Premiere

Their take on Ever Ending Kicks' 2013 single celebrates "being outside again," a fitting sentiment when surrounded by this level of splendor. Media Jeweler's cover is just as disorienting as the original, but while the original is built on electronic beats and synths, they go for a raw approach.

Posse - "Horse Blanket" | Album Review

Reviews

Horse Blanket takes a much more wizened and removed approach. The songs cook and roll around in the compositions, squeezing out every bit of emotion from the instruments and singers.

Champagne Superchillin' - "Beach Deep" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

Beach Deep, the band's sophomore album is a genuine work of art. Their experimental French pop sound swirls with touches of retro perfection, warped psych, sweeping touches of R&B charm, and gentle electronics, executed with a steady grace.

Qui - "Mowing Machine" | Post-Trash Premiere

The band have already shared "Escape From Now" but they are keeping their collaborative spirit alive with "Mowing Machine," a blistering noise punk odyssey featuring Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Head Wound City) on lead vocals.

Ovlov - "TRU" | Album Review

July 18, 2018

by: Katie Hanford

Reviews

On TRU, Ovlov manages to contain the noise so integral to their sound in a dynamism that blends the guitar musings of gazey greats with the slacker rock sensibilities of indie darlings, amounting to a record that pays tribute to its influences while maintaining a fresh identity.

Kiss Concert - "Cammo Whammo" | Post-Trash Premiere

In the two years since Kiss Concert's last release, the band have really blossomed. Their brand of distinctly Massachusetts post-hardcore, punk, and clamoring indie rock has become more refined, more nuanced, and overall more capable of just about anything they've set their sights toward.

Wilder Maker aren’t scared to acknowledge frailties or self-doubt, but they also offer ways to work through these moments and forge a brighter path through strength and will.

The Duke of Surl - "The Silk Cocoon" | Post-Trash Premiere

The album's first single, "The Silk Cocoon" is like the sticky sweet center of The Duke of Surl. It's low key in the best ways, significantly less "Surly" and a more of a slow burn than Brown's usual animated garage-pop attack.

Miranda Winters - "Xobeci, What Grows Here?" | Album Review

Winters reveals more of herself and talents as she showcases her flute-like vocals against cutting melodic and stripped riffs. It’s as if you are hearing her for the first time, Melkbelly fans.

Izzy True - "SadBad" | Post-Trash Premiere

Due out on August 3rd via Don Giovanni Records, the album takes True's earnest lyricism and adds some twang, confessional sparseness, bursts of jazzy jubilance, and emotional beauty that's both optimistic and heartbreaking.

Sean Henry - "Fink" | Album Review

Reviews

Enter Sean Henry; the New York City-based songwriter has dutifully acquired the label of soft grunge with his first studio album Fink. Over the course of ten tracks, Henry develops a taste for the angst-ridden emotions of late adolescence.

While Cosmic Debt, their prior release, found them exploring the amebic corners of noise pop, Dividends feels more focused and defiant.
