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.

As part of Ganser, she has released two albums and multiple EPs serving as co-songwriter, co-producer, video co-director, and editor. After their critically acclaimed debut album, Odd Talk, Ganser&#8217;s Just Look at That Sky met 2020 with year end nods from The Quietus, Rolling Stone, Vice, Paste, Uproxx, Bandcamp, and more. “Favorite albums of 2020. 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>
