Someone put a filled bin bag in our bin during the night, and being the rational human being that I am, I've put barbed wire round the bin, bought a state of the CCTV security system, and hired armed guards to watch the bin, 24/7.

Vocalist Danae Labraña creates an atmosphere worthy of Siouxsie Sioux or Zola Jesus here as, along with bandmate Brandon Iljas, OVRGRWN delve into psychological horror and dark wave with 'Too Far Gone.' 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/ovrgrwn...

Alice Gift enchants us with a testament to power restraint and silence have in our lives and how loud silence can feel, can be. And how beautiful is this artwork for upcoming gigs?🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/alice-g...

Barkeep! Please bring me your finest (vegan) mead and your plumpest (male) wenches! 🪈 Track: 'Hieronymus' by La Maisnie Hellequin. 🖤 youtu.be/0kiD5hM-Hwk

My internet life just flashed before my eyes, thanks to Firefox. 🎶Ma-ia-hii, Ma-ia-huu, Ma-ia-hoo, Ma-ia-haha🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Ao...

Nashville's Dad Hats may or not be growing old gracefully with the pop-punk to hardcore leaning 'wash.rinse.repeat' - title track of their third album. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/dad-hat...

If you’re not following me on insta yet, I am doing a vinyl giveaway to celebrate one year of my poltergeist-inspired song, Radio Player www.instagram.com/p/De9hZz4TH4...

Chris and Ivory (Ives) aka IVES offer up another smooth and deceptive number in 'Eyes Wide Shut' - best savoured with your eyes shut and your mind wide open. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/ives-ey...

Come for the gorgeous electro-ballad tones of Portland's State Alchemist, leave feeling cleansed and decompressed thanks to 'Endless Road.' The band is currently touring the US. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/state-a...

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Inspired by a stay in Serbia while touring, 'Echoes' see @blackdoldrums.bsky.social coming to terms with history and if we can ever break its patterns. Hit the link for news on the 2027 tour dates and new 'Repetition Compulsion' album on Fuzz Club. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/black-d...

The algorithm has introduced me to Hänsel. I now hate my boss, and I am my own boss. Well, the cats are my boss, you know what I mean... 🐈🥨🍻 youtu.be/BkI6tKFMETE

Before After Again's 'Nonetheless' takes root in the fertile ground in post-punk and 80s synthpop. One for fans of She Wants Revenge and Depeche Mode. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/before-...

An early taster of his upcoming 'Dinosaur' LP on @audioantihero.bandcamp.com, Big Winner's 'Blissin’ Out' reveals the present as a foreign country, but one where love is never far away. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/big-win...

Deceptively deep soft rock with an 80s or 90s mindset, 'already know' by MUANH soon unveils a pivotal role for shoegaze and dream pop. Her 'hush' EP came out on the 23rd of October. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/muanh-a...

If you’re a fan of acts like IST IST, The Slow Readers Club, and ACTORS – ones that make rock songs that are punchy and personal – any time spent listening to MUTE TV will be a wise investment. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/mute-tv...

Hockitay asks some fundamental questions about our realities on 'redstar' - the indie rock and slowcore vibing title track if his new EP. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/hockita...

Hopefully not a spoiler, but Amanda Seyfried will probably win an Oscar in 2027, and trying to process that is going to break brains. That Inception-level stuff is messing with mine already, I must say.

If you have ever worked with Nigerians, especially on a slow night shift, this SNL UK sketch with Cynthia Erivo will bring back...memories. Eggs, the Holy Spirit, and terrible Nigerian soaps. 😆 youtu.be/3cPVqcS-6Lw

The thunderous storm - and the angry rumbling stream outside the house - are keeping me awake, so I'm just sitting in the attic, listening to ViVii, drinking decaf coffee, and existing in a nice, solitary space. Except for sleeping cats. Always cats, always sleeping. 🖤 youtu.be/zx_FKgqbfQA

Swedish musician Julia Logan takes 'Khala My Friend' and makes it her own, and a song that'll soundtrack new friendships and summers to come. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/julia-l...

I'm a bit traumatised after realising 'Over' by GusGus is 15 years old now. Their cover with John Grant of Fancy's 'Bolero' is four years old. Who knows where the time goes? 🖤 youtu.be/EuxnvTUEUiM

“This is a story about slowly losing yourself in someone; each song explores its own form of obsessive behavior." - KARISHA talking about her recently released EP, the atmospheric and psychologically focused 'NOT RELATABLE.' 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/karisha...

Every country has an artist or music scene that leaves outsiders baffled. Big Tom - and Country and Irish - must seem odd: that sugary mix of US country music, Irish folk themes, and schlager-style melodies is kinda wholesome, and maybe cringe. Homesick music. 💔 youtu.be/DaJv_GnZyb8

Dark wave that is ambiguous and sensual, Kelsey Please' 'Another World' will leave you wondering who is the seducer, and who is being seduced. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/kelsey-...

A House are one of those 'should have been massive' bands from the late 80s and early 90s. Dave Couse now fronts AHOUSEiSDEAD - a clever name from the man that gave us 'Endless Art.' 🖤 youtu.be/jfOUypFxwfE

The title track of Tic Tic's new album on Apollon Records, 'Capsule' looks at how "what we read, what we scroll through online, and how we choose to spend our time all shape who we become.” 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/tic-tic...

Think of Avfall's 'Siren Teeth' as "a gothic horror novel about the irresistible light in darkness,” - the band does. Like the best horror movies and novels, you won’t be able to resist its siren call, no matter how many teeth glisten at you in the night. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/avfall-...

“There’s a slight melancholy to [December] but not necessarily sadness. More that feeling of getting lost in something and wanting to stay there a little longer before having to wake up." - Azure Rose on the midpoint song from their 'Blue Drops' LP. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/azure-r...

Rather like the best works of The Boss, New Jersey alt-rockers The Brothers Union tie heart and memories to beloved places on 'Shaking Heart.' 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/the-bro...

Berlin duo Mink could be walking us through the evolution of seasons, or the changing stages of a relationship, on the elegiac 'Everything Is Silent Now.' 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/mink-ev...

Collective Fear's January '27 album may be titled 'Doomed to Repeat,' but 'Past Life Kennedy' shows the Los Angeles band isn't afraid to reinventive itself. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/collect...

'options C' by SHEEBABA is bold and beautiful in how it looks at “Feeling like an object of pleasure and desire, yet never being quite enough." 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/sheebab...

“This project explores the ways my experiences with men caused me to lose touch with that authenticity, even though, ultimately, I was the one who allowed myself to walk away from it.” - Grace Kay on 'FALL FROM GRACE' LP - out now on Trailing Twelve Records. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/grace-k...

“'Leech' has been a live staple since it was written; we’re happy to have a definitive version that hits as hard as we’d hoped. This is our dancefloor call – you should make the most of it because we won’t ask twice.” - Yaang are currently touring the UK. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/yaang-l...

I don't really talk politics on here, but maybe giving the black-clad, 30s-haircut-wearing Louis Mosley - the grandchild of Oswald Mosley - a job where he can boss MPs and governments around is not a good thing. If the blog disappears overnight, it won't be cos I broke it again. (It will.) Me rn:

'Run' by 2:19 Special looks to the Krautrock scene for some of its undulating rhythms: not quite as rock-focused as Amon Düül II’s 'Yeti' or as clean and focused as NEU!’s 'Hallogallo,' instead finding a niche, almost psych spot between the two. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/219-spe...

A friendly cat called Norman, a roll call of spicy takeaways, and a lot of self-reflection: 'Curry Dom Jolly' will fil you up nicely in you're a fan of bedroom indie. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/onedayb...

“'Carpark' is about the familiar feelings that certain places bring us and the lengths we will go to to try and recreate them.” - Londoners Naked Brunch on their new single. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/naked-b...

Folian's 'Self-Limiter' is initially blackened and brutal, a bruised miscellany of sounds, before...just see where it takes you. Their 'Delusory' EP is out next month via Feral Crone Recordings; the Portland, Oregon based label of @lanadelrabies.bsky.social 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/folian-...

Hunny Buzz take no prisoners with 'Wishbone' as they turn the spotlight on the psychological tricks me play on women almost daily. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/hunny-b...

Family, home, and the immigrant experience co-exist, possibly uneasily, on 'Jacaranda' by Ruby Gill. Catch her tonight at Oslo in Hackney, London, supporting GORDI. One for fans of Phoebe Bridgers and Adrianne Lenker. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/ruby-gi...

The debut single from Austin-based quartet has been described as “40% shoegaze, 40% dreampop, 10% Midwest emo, 10% soul/rnb.” Trust me though, this is far from formulaic. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/lis-reach

Velocity Made Good don't make industrial rock, but music that is electronic; informed by EBM, industrial, and indie dance, forged in the furnace of live performances, giving 'Reeling' the soul of a rock song. 🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/velocit...

AI can have its uses, maybe even in music and art. But it's gone really wrong here. Grok doesn't translate Irish, decided this was Welsh, and the family surname was their nationality. Add in some off-the-wall colour about racial motivation, it's just completely off target. And quite dangerous.
