Cloud - "Two Hands Bound" | Post-Trash Premiere
Water From Your Eyes - "All A Dance" | Album Review
Bruiser Queen - "Sugar High" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere
Weaves - "Wide Open" | Album Review
Wide Open dims the manic lights of the rambunctious Weaves the world knew only a year ago, and this restraint proves necessary. A main theme of the album is the need for change; discussing its hardline, vital subject matter over arrangements as cartoonish as those on Weaves might have undermined Burke’s points.
Zula - "6 Passes" | Album Review
It’s a respectable challenge to describe Zula’s songs with anything other than abstractions: swirling, enveloping, trippy, blissful. 6 Passes feels somewhat more tangible, thanks primarily to a slight uptick in production quality; at their root, though, these are still loose journeys towards some higher state.
Shilpa Ray - "Door Girl" | Album Review

Over the past four years, thanks to a sparkling debut EP and subsequent full-length, the duo has become a genuine cult sensation entirely without the help of a record label; only recently, with the release of new single “Talk a Lot,” did Morgan and Shih add a publicist to their minimal, close-knit team, which otherwise only includes a booking agent and a publisher.
Do Pas O - "Join The Fucking Drum Circle" | Album Review
Do Pas O’s debut album isn’t just an LP-length barrage of percussion, though anyone expecting exactly that from Peter Negroponte, best known as the beastly drummer of Guerilla Toss, can’t be blamed. Instead, Join the Fucking Drum Circle is a psychedelic squawk from the inner depths of his strange and beautiful mind.
