Even when life feels a bit on tilt, Sadie Dupuis is an affable interview subject, personable and blessed with razor-sharp insight. She sat down with Post-Trash to discuss grim reapers at protests, the GOATs of the short song format, and the physical and mental hurdles that ultimately led to cutting loose and having some fun.

Where “Violent Peasant” was locked in with a transfixed progression, “Atrophy” aims for something a bit dreamier (though equally discordant). The song finds Allison Durham on lead vocals, giving space for the band to spiral into the song via her 12-string guitar, kicking up dust with casual resolve.

There’s a palpable release of satisfaction when the building angst of Daundry’s measured alternating riffs explode into a cleansing wall of noise capable of drowning out even the most persistently gnawing thoughts.

Post-Trash’s Jade Marantz chats with Joey DeFrancesco and Victoria Marie of Downtown Boys about the importance of unionizing, optimism as an act of resistance, and their new record Public Luxury.

Post-Trash’s Khagan Aslanov chats with Berlin-by-Baltimore art rock group Horse Lords about the influence of Just Intonation, Sacred Harp, a new cast of players, and pure intuition on their latest record Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!

So-called “negative” hardcore band Gunner is the successor to another Perth band, Semtex 87, with a similar aim, if you will: to vomit forth music so cacophonous, discordant and abhorrent to most that it will repel and chase them away.

It’s no secret we here at Post-Trash are big fans of Joyeria, and we’re delighted to premiere the leadoff track and first single from the London-by-Canada band’s upcoming LP Decay Decay Decay.

There’s been a lot of music released so far this year and someone on the internet might as well make a list out of it. Everyone has different taste. We all like different things for different reasons and that’s sort of the beauty of it all. Might we suggest these fifty albums, EPs, and one incredible split seven inch.

Nashville’s Styrofoam Winos have been a part of some of the biggest alt-country comeups in the last five years. Their new album Any River is an infectious, intimate slate of tracks blending folk-country tradition and the modernity of collective avant garde songwriting technique. 

Benji Heywood chats with Zoh Amba on the eve of their Matador debut to talk about Kingsport, TN, the struggle to make the album, and finding the people who have your back no matter what. 

One could argue that Souled American’s Sanctions is the most unfashionable album ever released. It’s their first album in thirty years, and the Scott Tuma-less band has made an album that’s weird, spectral, and haunted, with none of the concessions to trends that usually mar reunion albums.

Consensus Madness are back at it with “Superfund,” taking aim at the government’s general lack of concern for our environment. The song stampedes forward on an overdriven riff and a brash rhythm, calling out the devious attempts to turn contaminated areas into new and hip neighborhoods through endless funding.

Giliann Karon premieres Trophy Wife’s third single from their upcoming full length Pathetic, out 7/10 via AWOL.

Post-Trash’s Kurt Orzeck chats with June of 44’s Jeff Mueller to chat reuniting, playing overseas, side projects, nautical themes, and the relationship with one’s own work.

Moontype’s second full length I Let the Wind Push Down on Me is as emotionally charged as its predecessor. It plays like a document of McCarthy’s twenties, shaped by loneliness, self-reinvention, and addiction.

Beck Zegans has shown great depth and strength through her previous songwriting in Goo. Her solo debut Engraving of Armor highlights and accentuates that skill, as these songs travel down emotional paths filled with determination and warmth.

Named after a lyric from K Records labelmates Beat Happening, Touch Girl Apple Blossom are unafraid to revel in a raucous joy on their debut Graceful.

The cryptic, ethereal nightmares of Grouper were given new, haunted life via the hushed and chilling set performed by Squirrel Flower in early 2025 in Chicago. Live at the Top Note Theatre firmly establishes Ella Williams as Grouper’s natural heir.

Ava Brennan is one of the best guitarists in Chicago. Today we’re thrilled to premiere the heady and heavy “Event Horizon,” Brennan’s latest since last summer’s “Home.”

Western Mass legends Bucket return with some new EPs and a new song out today.

Post-Trash’s Charlie Bailey sits down with Chad VanGaalen to talk about Calgary, the unique perspective of aging in the rapidly modernizing music scene, and how making art stays with you no matter what. 

Slippers’ pop style is exceedingly charming and full of bright sunshine, but these songs are full of bite and menace that work extremely well. It’s what makes Slippers 08 so compelling.

Welcome to FUZZY MEADOWS, where we recap the past week in music. We're sharing our favorite releases of the week in the form of albums, singles, and music videos along with the "further listening" section of new and notable releases from around the web.

Rusty Santos is an acclaimed and eclectic producer known for working with mid-aughts projects like Animal Collective, TV on the Radio, Beach House, DJ Rashad, and more. Psycho Horses is his latest LP, which he describes as his “antidote to sleepwalking.”

Youbet finds Nick Llobet asserting himself with bold physical soundscapes and a profound lyrical intensity. This record is the sound of a band that continues to grow in their ever-expanding and hypnotic musical universe.

Iceage’s first record in five years sees them at their tightest and poppiest. Sharp and melodic, For Love of Grace & Hereafter is the Copenhagen group’s most tender release yet.

On Almost Waking, Orcutt and Fratti’s practices converge spectacularly. Weaving abstract electric six-string work with rich acoustic bowing, this eight-track collection transforms adversarial, jagged improvisation into sheer elegant instinct.

Just in time for the next heatwave, Chicago’s Sprite return with Spriite, their exceptionally titled second EP. Recorded at Radon Ranch with engineering from Ben Grigg), the quartet tear through four bent and detached songs, bringing a hazy mix of shoegaze, slacker pop, and alternative rock muscle.

Lupo Città’s INVERNO is true “band” music — not a singer/songwriter-led team, but collectively built, with the sum being multiplied by the powers of its individual parts. 

The Chicago project’s jammy cluster of interesting rock music is intensely charming and nonnegotiably on the jukebox all night long. Red Hot Photo Committee contains punk’s out-of-fucks heart with a rock n’ roll soul.
