Madonna
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit Trail of Dead’s second album, a keystone in the aggressive indie-rock boon of the late ’90s.”
Lost Songs
“Trail of Dead's latest album replaces textural trickery and extended set pieces with anxious energy, pure volume, and in-the-room immediacy. It's almost as if, instead of releasing a 10th-anniversary edition of Source Tags and Codes, the band opted to create something new using the same schematics.”
X: The Godless Void and Other Stories
“Pared back to a duo, the storied Austin band sounds unexpectedly winsome on their revelatory tenth album.”
XI: BLEED HERE NOW
“The Austin band returns with its longest and loosest record, characterized by a new sense of lightness.”
IX
“After two albums that reinstituted Trail of Dead’s primordial crash-and-burn guitar carnage, with IX, the band is confident enough to take another stab at the cinemascopic, candelabra-lit pop that defined Trail of Dead’s muddled mid-period output. This time, though, they possess a lesson-learned sense of restraint.”
Tao of the Dead
“Latest from the hardcore-prog band runs the thematic gamut from the death of rock radio to the work of comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell.”
