Moon Racer- "You Can Feel Bad" (Patty Loveless cover) Posted 29 May 2019

Yesterday, Post-Trash premiered Moon Racer's cover of Patty Loveless's "You Can Feel Bad." Post-Trash's Dan Goldin wrote, "Opting to recreate the song in her own vision, the Moon Racer version is minimal and full of atmosphere, the synths offering more texture than anything else. The construction of programmed drums and the depressed fog of wavering synths gives the lyrics a whole new feel. It’s a gorgeous cover that shows just how effectively the emotion put into a song can manipulate the emotion taken from the song."

Read the full article, which includes an essay by Autumn from Moon Racer, HERE.

"You Can Feel Bad" is now available on Bandcamp, & will be released to all digital platforms on Friday, May 31.

Moon Racer will hit the road in June, playing around the American south, midwest & down the east coast, sharing bills w/ Orindal labelmates Claire Cronin, Matt Bachmann & Advance Base.

New Claire Cronin single + US/CA tour dates w/ Advance Base Posted 21 May 2019

This morning, Post-Trash premiered "Wolfman," the second single from Claire Cronin's forthcoming Orindal LP, Big Dread Moon.

Post-Trash's Dan Goldin writes:

Following the release of album opener “Tourniquet,” Cronin shares “Wolfman,” another dimly-lit folk song, built on mythological creatures and a slow paced semblance of understanding. Built on a crawling tempo, an airy acoustic guitar, and the uneasy warble of Cronin’s gorgeous voice, every strum rings out until complete, a stunning testament to the slow and beautiful sound of Low or label mate Lisa/Liza. The story of the Wolfman is an interesting one, and the lyrics are abstract enough that they don’t need to have explicit meaning to be enjoyed, but there’s room for interpretation and heavy-hearted tension.

You can listen to Post-Trash's exclusive stream of "Wolfman" & read more kind words from Dan HERE.

"Wolfman" will be available to stream on all digital platforms on Friday, May 24. Big Dread Moon will be released on vinyl & digital formats on June 14. You can pre-order your copy HERE.

Claire Cronin will be hitting the road with Advance Base in June, playing shows across the American Midwest, Canada & New England. They'll have Big Dread Moon vinyl & tour-exclusive t-shirts for sale. Get your tickets now!
