On Nothing You Do Matters, Ganser split the difference between the immediate and an emotional distance to create some of their best tracks yet, ending up with a dancey, atmospheric take on post-punk. Composed primarily by Ganser’s rhythm section, the EP diverges stylistically from the more caustic material on their last LP.
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has arrived, with all the releases we’ve grown to know and love over the past twelve months, from the smallest of DIY tape releases to the buzz bands and beyond. It’s all here… mostly. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite records of the year without a pre-determined length.
For Ganser, steady self-reflection has always been in the cards. Just Look At That Sky sheds its skin at a regular rate, sometimes in pieces and sometimes all at once, a continuous self-metamorphosis aimed to navigate these dark and chaotic times. We spoke with Alicia Gaines and Nadia Garofalo about isolation and introspection, the new record, and more.
Just Look At That Sky, the sophomore full-length from Chicago’s Ganser, is the sound of summer. Maybe not in the traditional sense of friendly fun in the sun, but as it builds on their penchant for dark, pulsing atmospherics and razor-sharp attitude, it captures the feel of a summer under lockdown and a post-punk band at their most dialed-in.
Following Ganser’s 2018 debut record, 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.
