From a sun-blanched apartment in Ukrainian Village, Friko’s Niko Kapetan talks about the band’s future while acknowledging how fortunate they’ve been, Chicago’s incredibly supportive scene, and how chasing the right feeling makes for great music.

A Healthy Future on Earth is the sophomore full length from Australian post-punk/shoegaze trio Miners, fronted by Blake Clee and featuring friends Nick Johnson (Mope City, Shrapnel) and Wilson Harris. The record is full of sharp guitar hooks and a trembly sense of nerves for the outer world.

The video, directed by Luke Csehak and Madeline Rose Carter is delightfully strange and equally as wonderful as the single itself, a “Lentil-pilled” trip that only gets more surreal as time passes and the “drugs” take hold.

The Armed perpetuate a sense of loneliness, performativity, and chaos on their new EP, Everlasting Gaze.

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.

On her debut, Morpho Season, she takes the approach of an observer in regards to subjects like memory, lost relations, nature, and outside environments with a tactile approach full of compassion and strength. 

A weekly post highlighting but a few of our favorite new releases in splendid alphabetical order, brief and (hopefully) informative. There’s a lot of great music out every week and these are but some of the many we think you should check out.

Melbourne collective Bananagun came out of nowhere with their debut album, an intriguing combination of sunshine pop and afrobeat rhythms. Four years on, the band are back with Why is the Colour of the Sky?, a set of ten songs that audibly push the band into new musical territory.

Considering the fact that Chicago’s Bursting features members of Yautja, Stress Positions, Thou, and Coliseum (among others), it’s fair to have expectations in terms of quality. The good news is that beyond having pedigree for days, any expectations are blown away.

You Never End isn’t merely the most complex work Moin’s released, but their coldest and most emotive. Where previous works played more with noisy abrasion Moin now embraces the rhythms of dub and the guitar croons of shoegaze to create their most atmospheric work since their RAIME days.

Miami’s Winded are back, and they’ve come to rip. While Thrin Vianale recorded each of the previous releases solo, the project has expanded into a quartet for Double Single, an enormous reintroduction to the band, recorded together with Jon Nuñez (Torche, Shitstorm).

Pass the Loofah is the sophomore album from beat oriented Oakland post-punk band Naked Roommate, detached and playfully poking at life’s absurd moments in a way that’s easy to love. Amber Sermeno's vocals are mostly dry as she blankly intones put downs and witty wordplay.

Still Praying serves as the return to form we've been waiting for; Westside Gunn is at his most confident and artistically assured yet. This time around, the album emphasizes less of his usual swagger and brings more authentic depth.

Whether with a sense of irony, sincerity, or just sealing their brand, The Hard Quartet actually do go hard on the first several tracks of their self-titled debut, as if, after all they’ve accomplished during their respective careers, they still have something to prove.

I Have A Physical Body That Can Be Harmed is an expansion of their sound, both more patient and frantic, uglier and funnier, unnerving but plastered with a permanent smirk. Where so many others choose to play it safe, Thank come unglued.

Post-Trash connected with Naima Bock last month to talk about archaeology, Mount Eerie, being a conduit, letting yourself be seen, and her new album, Below A Massive Dark Land.

The follow-up to their terrific 2021 album Garden Bed, is a welcome continuation of the band’s intimate and intricate compositions that this time around explore the theme of holding on to hope in the face of personal turmoil.

With an insistence to continually experiment, a wide-ranging combination of styles, mesmerizing vocals, louder-than-hell guitars, and mayhem-filled atmospheres, the record continues to show why APTBS remain one of the best.

Kane Strang, the guitarist and songwriter for the excellent New Zealand band Office Dog caught up with Post-Trash during their tour they just wrapped up supporting Nada Surf to discuss the genesis of the project and how the band was faring on their first US tour.

EELS is the second album from Being Dead, introducing the Austin, TX trio to a wider audience while still delivering garage oddities and glorious girl-group tinged harmonies. Falcon Bitch and Shmoofy continue to expound upon their imaginative songwriting, defining their unique musical universe.

Peel Dream Magazine, known for trying something completely different than the shoegaze-y dream pop on their first records with 2022’s largely solo effort Pad, have found a way to both bridge the gap, extending it backward in time and forward in aesthetic on their latest.

Toronto hardcore juggernauts S.H.I.T. are back with their bone-crushing new album For A Better World, a collection of seven loathing anthems that wriggle into loosened eardrums with relentless determination

It’s hard to imagine a larger gulf between an artist’s persona—in Basinski’s case: joyous, bawdy, mischievous—and work. Basinski’s decaying tape loops are desperately lonely and beautiful, yielding one of ambient music’s most influential works, The Disintegration Loops, among many others. Attending a live performance of the work is akin to experiencing a new sense.

The strangeness possessed by every particle of living is the framework for the explorations of Whodunnit, the seventh LP from the Ruination Records co-founder, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A sweeping discography is condensed into gorgeous and surreal musings.

What's incredible about APTBS’ Synthesizer is that despite being extremely aggressive, frantic, and harsh, it also manages to be stunningly beautiful, super catchy, and very human. Oliver Ackermann spoke to Post-Trash about the record, playing intense live shows, and his company Death By Audio. 

Coming little more than a year after Goodnight Neanderthal, Prehistoric Chrome is the outfit’s longest release to date, with eighteen tracks spanning across 26 minutes. Every song is a full-on tire-squealing, rubber-burning energetic punk rock drag race.

Thematically, Cool World picks up where God’s Country left off. Except now, as vocalist Raygun Busch has explained, those themes have “exploded from a micro to macro scale, with thoughts specifically about disasters abroad, at home, and how they affect one another.”
