“Post-Trash Live” returns for episode two. Careful to avoid the sophomore slump, hosts Nick Dooley and Dan Goldin discuss the idea of record label identities while sharing more of this year’s highlights. From “poptimism” to that one commercially acceptable noise rock band of the year, all is discussed together with new music.
Tompkins says he made this record “hunched over a 4-track, recording this music to damaged tapes that had been stored in my hot garage for over a decade and were always threatening to self-destruct.” Ocean Pines sounds like a record where a songwriter rediscovered the creative process. It’s an intimate record, made from the pure joy found in writing songs.
