Following Ganser’s 2018 debut record Odd Talk, we are pleased to premiere their follow up EP You Must Be New Here.The title for the EP is apt, as the listener moves across the various different versions of what a Ganser song can be. It’s a teaser, giving new listeners a taste in a digestible fifteen minutes. We move seamlessly from a sugary confection to the more brooding material that you could easily identify as post-punk, which was present throughout their entire debut record.
The EP opener, “Buio,” is an instantly repeatable song with memorable guitar lines and melodies. Where the closer, “Motivational Speaking,” feels closer to a spoken word piece, where the instruments are incidental. It’s in this dichotomy that Ganser thrives. Take a listen below before You Must Be New Here is out tomorrow and catch them on the following dates:
11/14 - Minneapolis, MN - Mortimer's
11/15 - Madison, WI - Crucible
11/16 - Milwaukee, WI - Club Garibaldi's
