The project of Gabe Smoller and Freddie Wyss, Trash Gendar is a Brooklyn based band with a puzzling and probably questionable name (in particular for a country that’s been growing super-oversensitive like ours) and a very interesting sound. In debut EP ‘Mass Canon,’ released in March of 2015, you’ll find something new (in the shape of inventive, atmospheric elec-tric/tronic arrangements) and something old (in the shape of recurring Americana influences). In the record’s six songs, various genres, ranging from psych rock to country, math rock and ambient, are combined to create that new, modern, ‘melting pot’ music that we at The Deli – for lack of a better word – call ‘Avant-Indie.’ The experiment reaches remarkable results with single ‘Tunnel,’ streaming below, which sounds a little like the (hot) bastard child of Tortoise and Radiohead. Trash Gendar will be playing The Cobra Club (6 Wyckoff Ave) on August 6. (Don’t tell your trash, it may not like that moniker).
