The Convenience is a production and songwriting duo from New Orleans.
"Twenty-first century post-punk runs a vast gamut from garagey bashing to sleek (unknown) pleasures to hi-hat riding dancepunk. New Orleans’ The Convenience somehow sits at the center of this triangle, casual enough not too feel too polished, tight without being showy, and steeped in elements of disco, dub and avant garde sounds enough to feel fascinatingly experimental without losing their sense of fun." —Treble
"The two new songs from this New Orleans post-punk duo do completely different things. Where 'Routiner' is all jagged edges and staccato guitars, 'Postcard' is soft at its edges, melancholia underpinned by a fluttering violin and only accentuated by the occasional eruption of noise." —The Fader
"'Routiner' and 'Postcard' are both nervous, twitchy post-punk tracks, but they don’t sound much like each other at all." —Stereogum

"Routiner" is an interweaving guitar song with a Gang of Four style beat from the band’s Duncan Troast about the highs and lows of mundane life. The song drives with its bass and jabs with its guitars, the keys paint the edges with a brighter tone, and Nick Corson delivers a cool and confident vocal croon. The Raincoats-inspired "Postcard” was recorded in one take; friend of the band (and Lawn member) Mac Folger played fiddle on the track.
