Ganser

Ganser is a four-piece Chicago band that meshes noise, art rock, and post-punk energy. Their sound is so damn immediate: confident and determined vocals traded between Alicia Gaines and Nadia Garofalo (who also handle bass and keys recitative), pulsing with bombastic drumming from Brian Cundiff, and exceptional guitar work from Charlie Landsman. Ganser’s songs hinge on a punching sense of post-punk melody that’s performed with the wavering ferocity of classic noise rock. Making Paste Magazine’s list of 50 best albums of 2020 with “Just Look at That Sky” with songs full of poetic recitations about maintaining one’s sanity while the world caves in, this band is absolutely one to catch while you can.
