Josh Martin comes from Buffalo and makes his music under the moniker of Thought Trials. After releasing several singles and EPs, this year the time has come for him to show the first LP called Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing, and, spoiler alert, it's really good.
The artist feels good in more than one convention; the album starts like a good old post-rock release should - with guitar-based, atmosphere-building composition that is being ornamented with moody spoken word samples. But already the second track, Kintsugi featuring Lauren Davis and Erin Malone of Greybloom, adds to this mix a real guitar riff-fest that is complimented with post-hardcore vocals that create this engaging, not-too-overwhelming mix of various approaches to good, mostly instrumental guitar music. And there are fragments that get close to instrumental ambient too, especially the most poignant track here, the album's closure in the depression-themed Belonging.
Let's not forget that track Hedonism is featured on the Ukraine Relief Compilation by The Post-Everything Collective, which, apart from the obvious, money-raising reasons, show-cases a huge range of big post-rock talents and the sole fact that Thought Trials is present there, speaks volumes.
Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing costs 10 USD.
