Talkhouse Podcast

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>
