Chicago-based artist Morpho just released the second single from her debut EP, a tantalizing indie rock track called “Half of Two.” The artist behind Morpho, Kristyn Chapman, leans into a 90s sound reminiscent of her guitar inspirations Yo La Tengo and Smashing Pumpkins.

Ian Davis is turning his attention back to his band as they get to release their sophomore album Alternate/Opposite. The record expands on the framework of his first album, moving away from the focus on synths into a swarming power-pop glow that’s as dreamy as it is fuzzy.

A colorful patchwork of eccentric instrumental arrangements and world-weary, world-wise canticles ruminating on life, death, and the otherworldly, Where UFOs Fear to Tread is the newest record from the LA-based, self-proclaimed “underwater pop/ASMR rock” group, The Lentils.

Doggerland, a followup to early 2024’s remarkable LP Spiel, finds Office Dog in expansive form, redefining and shifting their heavy hitting hooks. Doggerland paints a slightly more robust sonic landscape while still having the ineffable momentum the trio is so adept at building.

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.

“NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024, 28,340 DEAD” is both a documentation of unspeakable evil and a plea for peace and love. It makes no hesitation to speak truth to power, and it does so with no words.

Geordie Greep’s The New Sound might just be the great sonic flex of the decade so far. I mean flex here in the most literal sense, a muscle flexing. An exposure of the raw strength possessed but one wrought with tension veins popping, skin stretching.

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.

The eleven track LP is a tight, fully distilled "representation of their boundless, idiosyncratic approach to guitar-based music," and one that benefited from being sat on a touch longer. Even that feels like it doesn't fully get at what makes Everything Around You so interesting.

Ahead of the release of EELS, Being Dead took time to speak with Post-Trash's Kris Handel. The band have created their own unique space, both in music and their own world blurring fiction and reality, with a quick witted humor and off the cuff story-telling that can baffle the uninitiated. 

A fast-spinning machine powered by songs that pass through memorable lyrics, addictive hooks, and commendable guitar performances, Triple Seven, the debut album from Indianapolis indie rockers Wishy boasts some serious jewel case appeal.

Dummy have garnered praise for their fantastic new album, Free Energy, and rightly so. Their blissed-out noise, ear for melody, and penchant for head-bobbing grooves produces seriously enjoyable music. We caught up with them to get their advice on the do’s and don’ts of DIY touring. 

Billiam’s new record, Animation Cel, feels like trying to catch up without ever succeeding. The demanding directness drags you from one place to another, jostling your body through an overly animated and freaky world, bending in your path and forcing you to dodge out of the way.

Hard to believe that it’s seven years since Riverless, but the time hasn't gone idly by. The once core quartet of Night Idea has expanded into a sextet, now including multi-instrumentalists Reggie Pace and Reyna Pannell. New textures abound on their upcoming album, Rocky Coast.

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 gossamer threads of swirling, arpeggiated guitar lines, synth layers, driving bass, and tight four-on-the-floor drums, All Feels’ This Place Is A Message stakes out territory we should find familiar in 2024, depicting the anxiety of facing collapses both personal and environmental.

Aprender a Ser: Extended was recorded at the same time as last year's Aprender a Ser, translated to "Learn to Be". This extended record continues into that realm of learning, gaining the ability to sit with yourself in a calm stillness.

Memorial Waterslides arrives in immaculate shape, a complex art pop record that slinks, grooves, sputters and squawks, and yet still glows with a humble charm. The brightest pop moments of the record leave sunspots in our mind, as MEMORIALS craft essential and inescapable songs.

As Palehound, El Kempner has taken their indie-drenched “journal rock” to music festivals worldwide. Live at First Congregational Church, captured live while opening for Adrianne Lenker of the band Big Thief, is a testament to the transformative power of Kempner's music.

Venus Twins' new EP, /​\​/​\​/​\​/​\​/ (Pronounced Stitching), requires a parenthetical definition just as much as it requires a dismantling of all senses. The duo of Jake and Matt Derting have been making freaked out noise punk for the better part of a decade before finding a new home at Three One G.

Trace Mountains, the project of New York-based musician Dave Benton, leans away from humble lo-fi beginnings in favor of twangy precision on the latest album, Into the Burning Blue. He spoke with Post-Trash about his process and learning to have fun through the hard times.

With her third full length album, Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild, Merce Lemon and her bandmates have crafted a record of rolling country landscapes amidst heart-wrenching and cutting lyricism. 

SunDog found its soft side. The Anchorage, Alaska-based power trio tried something different on About You, their third and latest full-length album released on Dog Yard Records. The band embraced structure, technology, sentimental sounds and a protracted recording process.

We all know those classic splits where the pair of bands cover each other, a testament to camaraderie With their matter of factly titled Split out later week, Glasgow’s Dancer and Portland’s Whisper Hiss take things a step further, opting to make videos for one another.

Naima Bock presents ten detailed, thoroughly sophisticated and meticulously arranged compositions in the form of songs, making them oh so easy on the ear on one hand, and something to ponder about on the other.

The band has released nine studio albums, P.J. Soles was the fifth among them in 2004. This record made its way back to earth at exactly the right moment. The news cycle and tumultuous election season almost did us in, but here come Local H making sure everyone’s cool.

Post-Trash recently spoke with Party Dozen about how they created the sound of Crime in Australia, instrumental music’s unique emotional resonance, getting in shape for the band’s hyperactive batshit live show, and confessions of the band’s own high crimes and misdemeanors.

Originating as the solo project of Chain Whip’s Patrick McEachnie, the band’s second album feels like a group effort. In contrast to the hardcore-egg punk of Chain Whip, Pack Rat answers what would the Ramones sound like if they were teleported to the present-day Pacific Northwest.

Sunshine and good weather doesn’t always correlate with good vibes and warm thoughts. For LA's The Fruit Trees, location doesn’t seem to be a large factor in their DNA. We Could Lie Down in the Grass feel more winter night in Scandinavia than a warm sunny beach day.
