Chemtrails make shimmery noise pop with a discontented spirit and a complexion that combines surf, punk, and garage rock inspirations. The band's full-length debut, Calf of the Sacred Cow, arrived in 2018. The double-edged celebration continued on such catchy releases as 2020's Peculiar Smell of the Inevitable and 2024's The Joy of Sects, their first album to be recorded with an outside producer.
