Hot Garbage Biography
Hot Garbage melt into a heavily volatile yet undeniably palatable amalgamation of sonic elements. Calling on the driving rhythms of dark post-punk and motorik krautrock, the Toronto-based outfit seamlessly works shining melodies and swirling textures into deliberate, brooding arrangements. With an eclectic range of inspiration spanning genres and art forms, fans of Sonic Youth, Broadcast, and 70’s era Iggy will find a familiar pull into the raw sound.
Following the release of two EP’s, Hot Garbage entered the studio with Juno-nominated producer Graham Walsh (of evil experimental Toronto supergroup Holy Fuck) in early 2020 to cut a selection of tracks live off the floor. The result was a blazing standalone single, Easy Believer, and the group’s debut long play offering, RIDE, composed of 33 reverb-soaked minutes to be pressed to vinyl and released on Mothland in October 2021. RIDE quickly made its way into SiriusXM rotation on CBC Radio 3 and The Verge, and climbed to #3 on the Earshot Top 50 and #82 on the NACC Top 200.
The quartet returns with sophomore album Precious Dream, an amalgamation of songs written in isolation and brought together in studio in late 2022 with Walsh at the helm once again. Though the band’s signature tinge of moody, heavy psychedelia remains present, Precious Dream careens at high speeds into a darker world of searing post-punk riffs, grappling with themes of dread, loss, the resilience of the human spirit and the highs and lows of solitude.
With Precious Dream, Hot Garbage breathe an exhilarating new breath into the world of post-punk and modern psychedelia, offering a listening experience that is equally cathartic and introspective. Precious Dream is set for release on January 19, 2024 via Mothland (NA) & EXAG’ Records (EU/UK).
