Tim Carr’s (Perfume Genius, Hand Habits) is a fixture of the singer-songwriter and session player communities in Los Angeles. He was raised in Novato, California, and at 18, Carr moved to Los Angeles to study jazz drums at California Institute of the Arts. Upon graduating, Carr pursued a scrappy career as a touring drummer with bands including The Americans and Fell Runner, in addition to producing for a handful of songwriters. In pockets away from the road, Carr’s introverted experiments with DIY production slowly shaped his debut, The Last Day of Fighting, which was widely released in 2016. 
Carr is now based in the quiet Los Angeles neighborhood of Tujunga, at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains. His self-released latest album, Pleasure Drives, sparked shortly after the move to the Crescenta Valley. Pleasure Drives is out now.

Ganser combines post-punk workmanship with aesthetic noise rock tendencies, inspired by cinematic visuals and imagist language. Composed of keyboardist/vocalist Nadia Garofalo, bassist/vocalist Alicia Gaines, drummer Brian Cundiff, and guitarist Charlie Landsman, equal parts Space Odyssey and Ghost World, this Chicago-based band channels anxiety’s heightened state to absurd ends.
Their debut, Odd Talk, was released in 2018 on No Trend Records to favorable coverage from The New York Times, Billboard, Stereogum, and other publications. Building on their dissociative disorder namesake, their music is sometimes frenzied (&#8220;PSY OPS&#8221;), but sometimes contemplative (&#8220;Revel&#8221;), probing on questions of anxiety, intimacy, and avoidance.

They can rant and croon, elevating this thorny, driving music out of the muck and toward something resembling transcendence.” &#8211; <a href="https://uproxx.com/indie/steven-hyden-favorite-albums-of-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://uproxx.com/indie/steven-hyden-favorite-albums-of-2020/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1645708607087000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Yl7tKrkBcvt_zBdVnUGfg">Steven Hyden’s Favorite Albums Of 2020</a>
