▌░ ░▐
▌░ Growth with no reward. Finding strength in your less ░▐
▌░ desirable traits. Coming up with the perfect comeback hours ░▐
▌░ later in bed, glaring at the ceiling. Asking yourself: am I ░▐
▌░ improving, or am I just changing into something ░▐
▌░ unrecognizable? Chicago quartet Ganser probe the futility of ░▐
▌░ striving for self-growth during the chaos of our times for ░▐
▌░ dark comedy and jagged sounds on their potent new album Just ░▐
▌░ Look at That Sky, out July 31st on Felte. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Equal parts Space Odyssey and Ghost World, Ganser released ░▐
▌░ their debut LP Odd Talk in 2018 to favorable coverage from ░▐
▌░ The New York Times, Billboard, and Stereogum. Building on ░▐
▌░ their dissociative disorder namesake, the albumÆs tone ░▐
▌░ vacillated between frenzied and contemplative, probing on ░▐
▌░ questions of communication, intimacy, and avoidance. On Just ░▐
▌░ Look at That Sky, Ganser further explores the personal inner ░▐
▌░ climate of uncertain times. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Opening track ôLuckyö announces an explosive energy that ░▐
▌░ evokes the Midwest noise-rock legacy of bands like Jesus ░▐
▌░ Lizard and Shellac, while embracing a more colorful palette ░▐
▌░ of post-punk and art rock influences. Nadia Garofalo and ░▐
▌░ Alicia Gaines, a self-described two-headed monster who share ░▐
▌░ lead vocal duties, can bring both a recalcitrant cool worthy ░▐
▌░ of Kim Gordon and a booming sneer that recalls Poly Styrene; ░▐
▌░ the discordant interplay of Charlie LandsmanÆs guitar and ░▐
▌░ Brian CundiffÆs drums on standouts ôSelf Serviceö and ôBad ░▐
▌░ Formö build to blistering climaxes that wouldnÆt feel out of ░▐
▌░ place on Red Medicine-era Fugazi. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ And then thereÆs GanserÆs lyrics: manic explorations of worry ░▐
▌░ and dread mark this record, the epic messiness of daily life ░▐
▌░ in our damaged times attacked with sardonic specificity as ░▐
▌░ often as generalized doom. Just Look at That Sky isnÆt afraid ░▐
▌░ to acknowledge that weÆre all Extremely Online all the time, ░▐
▌░ but rather explicitly owns it. These songs chart inner ░▐
▌░ monologues of emphatic confusion, emotions already deeply ░▐
▌░ felt further ratcheted up by the anxiety of always having too ░▐
▌░ much information about other people, and always being just ░▐
▌░ one tweet or status update away from knowing what everyone ░▐
▌░ really thinks about us. This culminates in closing track ░▐
▌░ ôBags for Life,ö which imagines how online discourse might ░▐
▌░ tackle a front-row seat for the end of the world. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Nadia Garofalo (keyboards/vocals) and Alicia Gaines ░▐
▌░ (bass/vocals) met in art school, bonding over their shared ░▐
▌░ love of The Residents, outsider communities, and ░▐
▌░ transgressive filmmakers like John Waters and David Lynch. ░▐
▌░ The hands-on, DIY craftsmanship honed in those years has ░▐
▌░ carried over into a group that shares writing duties, ░▐
▌░ collaborates closely on music videos and album art, and ░▐
▌░ crafts Brechtian visuals to accompany their maximalist live ░▐
▌░ show. Having shared stages with the likes of Daughters, Oh ░▐
▌░ Sees, Algiers, as well as Modern English, Ganser is a band ░▐
▌░ that refuses to be pinned down, four individuals of diverse ░▐
▌░ backgrounds functioning with the collective consciousness of ░▐
▌░ four people in uncertain times. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ These are songs that never shy away from ugliness and ░▐
▌░ confusion, that believe embracing the totality of the self ░▐
▌░ sometimes means leaning into our dickish behavior. In the ░▐
▌░ past, some listeners have had trouble reconciling non-male ░▐
▌░ voices with the sorts of topics Ganser writes about, but that ░▐
▌░ comes to an end with Just Look at That Sky. Co-produced with ░▐
▌░ Electrelane's Mia Clarke and engineer Brian Fox, this is an ░▐
▌░ assured, fully realized triumph of a record from an art-punk ░▐
▌░ band thatÆs figured out how to focus on making great art, ░▐
▌░ even if everything else around them falls apart. ░▐
