It’s that time again:
Trash Records Annual Report 2018 Low Res (.pdf as usual… low res because the file was too damned big)
Trash Records Audio Report (Part 1: 1998-2008)
2008 marked the 20 year anniversary of Trash Records.
Here is a playlist for your listening pleasure from the first 10 of those years. It’s not comprehensive (there are bands from those 10 years not represented), nor is it fully representative of each of the bands featured (some of them have done things that sound quite different from the songs here); it is, rather, a little taste of some of the things we did in those first 10 years. It’s not a “best-of,” as lots of best songs were surely left off of the list. I chose fast here; making a series of quick decisions about a set of stand-out songs that work together as a play-list and introduction. (They are culled from MP3s made at different times and are therefore at different bit-rates.) Enjoy!

New Dumbass Album: Robbing Graves
Robbing Graves, the new album
“The negative form of the self exercises a loosening power as well as a binding power; at any time it can quite arbitrarily start all over again, and no matter how long one idea is pursued, the entire action is within a hypothesis.”
Robbing Graves is the new release from Dumbass.
It is an intense expressionist and experimental suite of music in two parts. The first part (the title track), is a 54 minute piece of music that is both sonically and lyrically challenging. It is deeply intertextual, both formalist and freeform, with lyrics in 4 languages, and music that moves from minimal and quiet to brash and noisy.
Robbing Graves weaves the past and present together, figuratively and literally through extensive use of archival recordings and incisive self-reflection.
The second part plays more like a traditional album, with more manageable song lengths, but it is in fact a continuation of an overarching narrative that moves, from bar 1 of part 1 towards its inevitable conclusion in the final song.
The album is available to download for free here at the Dumbass website.
It is also available in a portfolio edition, with 2 CDs, a liner-book, and 4 hand printed woodcuts. Contact us through the Trash Records Facebook page if you are interested.
Finally, you can also stream the first Part of the album on youtube and vimeo.
