Welcome to “Essentials,” a column for new music recommendations from one lifelong chucklehead with questionable taste. It’s similar to “Fuzzy Meadows” except the title makes more sense and we’ve removed the words “best” and “weekly”. This column will be sporadic, but hopefully worth the wait. Presented as always in glorious alphabetical order.
Author’s Note: After a decade as the founder and editor of Post-Trash, I’ve been attempting to take a step back from the site, but have so far found myself constantly drawn back in. The compulsion to write about new music (with a primitive vocabulary and an utter lack of literary refinement) is deeply embedded in my ever aging soul. There’s an elegant saying “opinions are like assholes… everyone has one” and it rings true to this column. “Essentials” is but one person’s personal opinion. You might agree, you might not, and well, that’s the internet for you, but I sincerely hope you might find some new music you connect with. Support the bands you love. Spread the word and buy some new music when you can.
This edition of “Essentials” includes a smattering of bands I once had the pleasure of working with, namely Editrix, Pile, and Water From Your Eyes. I don’t include them out of necessity or bias, I include them because I’m very fond of them. I’m also very fond of the latest from the queen Cate Le Bon, the continued evolution of Austin’s Porcelain, and McKinley Dixon’s ever brilliant, acrobatic, and near perfect hip-hop records.
