Sprain - "As Lost Through Collision" | Album Review
Freak Heat Waves - "Zap The Planet" | Album Review
Freak Heat Waves are back with their latest album Zap The Planet. The new release finds the two-piece dipping into darker musical territory, and it’s their most realized work to date. Zap The Planet is an experiment in cold, warped synthesizer and 80’s drum machines, and the songs are alluringly ominous.
Helvetia - "This Devastating Map" | Album Review
Helvetia is back with the charmingly lo-fi This Devastating Map. The solo project of Jason Albertini, an original member of Duster and former bass player for Built to Spill, each release from Helvetia manages to sound different from the last, yet usually sits within a common realm: fuzzy, home recorded psych-pop music.
Powerwasher - "The Power of Positive Washing" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
The music of Powerwasher is snarling, frantic, and uncontainable. Hailing from Baltimore and Atlanta, the band’s debut album The Power of Positive Washing is anxiety-inducing in the best way possible. The songs ooze style and melody, and the band’s use of odd time signatures and neck-jerking transitions keeps you on your toes.
Jesu - "Never" | Album Review
Hum - "Inlet" | Album Review
After 22 years, the legendary space-rock group Hum have finally arrived with a surprise new album. Inlet was released unceremoniously, but it took little time for the news to go viral. Based out of Champaign, IL, the band have become a staple of 90’s alt-rock. Inlet is a sonic journey, guided by huge riffs and heavy atmosphere.

Beauty Pill - "Sorry You're Here" | Album Review
In 2010, Taffety Punk Theater Company premiered the dance play suicide.chat.room. Ten years later, the previously unreleased score by Beauty Pill, Sorry You’re Here, was finally made public. The score, created by Chad Clark, feels cold and dystopic, yet is delicate, human, and holds its own as a powerful piece of music about a difficult topic.
Duster - "Duster" | Album Review
The band put out a handful of well-loved albums and EPs throughout the late-90s before calling it quits in 2000. Since then, their lo-fi, fuzzed-out songs have gained them a legendary status amongst fans in the know. Duster sounds like no time has passed, delivering twelve new songs that feel nostalgic yet fresh.
