PoST
TEN LITTLE INDIES
After a decade mostly under the radar, Turin’s Proud of Serving Tuna, or just PoST to anyone who’s been paying attention, are back with an album that feels like picking up an old conversation mid-sentence.
Ten Little Indies isn’t neat, and that’s part of the charm. These guys have always leaned into the offbeat, jangly, twitchy, oddly melodic tracks that take unexpected turns but somehow stick. The new record, dropped quietly last November, keeps that energy alive. It's smart, a little unhinged, and completely their own.

Their earlier work, Nulla da decidere (2008) and Fakes from Another Place (2012), had already earned them cult status in Italy’s underground. Both were shaped with help from experimental producers like Davide Tomat and Gabriele Ottino (you might know them from Niagara or spime.im). On this new album, the band sounds just as restless, maybe more so.
What’s striking is how they balance structure and surprise. You’ll hear sharp melodies, sure, but they’re constantly being nudged out of place by odd chords, strange phrasing, or a sudden left turn. It’s like they’re following their own logic, and somehow, it works.
You don’t really listen to PoST for polish. You listen because they mean it. Because there’s feeling underneath the weirdness. Because even after 20+ years, they’re still taking risks most bands wouldn’t even think of.
