Tomato Flower - "Gold Arc" | Album Review
Poorly Drawn House Share "Home Doesn't Have Four Walls" LP Influences | Post-Trash Feature
Poorly Drawn House are a trio from Spartanburg, South Carolina that create an intricate blend of slowcore and post-rock, with lush dynamics and creeping tension. Out now via Candlepin Records, Poorly Drawn House were kind enough to share some of the influences that lead to Home Doesn’t Have Four Walls with us.
Operator Music Band - "Deep Break" | Album Review
It’s been almost three years since the Brooklyn electronic trio released their second LP, Duo Duo—the strongest expression of the group’s krautrock, art-pop and occasionally post-punk sensibilities thus far. Deep Break is three songs long, which according to the band’s Twitter were taken from an aborted full-length album.
The Web of Lies - "RnR Resurrection" | Post-Trash Premiere
Curtis Godino presents The Midnight Wishers - "Curtis Godino presents The Midnight Wishers"
Curtis Godino is sort of both mastermind and middleman here, as the album is billed in the form of Curtis Godino presents The Midnight Wishers. Although full of Godino and Kramer's touches, it’s The Midnight Wishers who act as the medium to present the ideas of transporting the sound of iconic girl groups into the left-field modern age.
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.
Silverbacks - "Archive Material" | Album Review
Archive Material is a tidy 38 minute grab bag of influences that ultimately adds up to something unique. For a relatively short album, the individual songs often feel longer in the best way possible. In the landscape of dour post-punk, it’s nice to have a band stop by, roll down the windows every now and then, and let some sunshine in.
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.
Howless - "To Repel Ghosts" | Album Review
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.
Cate Le Bon - "Pompeii" | Album Review
Thank - "Thoughtless Cruelty" | Album Review
After having all of their loose material gathered on Thankology, we finally get Leeds’ best noise rock band Thank’s debut album, Thoughtless Cruelty. This is a record that is meant to be played as loud as possible, an album that is filled with clever lyrics, a clear nihilistic view of the world, and pounding instrumentals.
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.
Pom Poko - "This Is Our House" | Album Review
Big Thief - "Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You" | Album Review
Big Thief are some of the only artists right now whose mission runs entirely counter to the world we live in. Their music leaves behind cities, machines, and rigid rhythms, where most of even our best music these days seems intent on replacing the sounds of human beings with a false mechanical magnificence.
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (January 31st - February 13th)
Empath - "Visitor" | Album Review
Traps PS - "Prim Dicer" | Album Review
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.
