Ganser

Animal Hospital, the new LP from Chicago art punks Ganser, is a monument to observation, a tome of stray thoughts gathered while moving through a crowd coalesced into a collective take on the absurd contradictions of lives moving past. This is the band at their most dynamic, stretching the confines of their sonic boundaries into new territory, testing the elastic limits of sound. Alicia Gaines, Brian Cundiff, and Sophie Sputnik, remain steadfastly committed to propulsive patterns; drums that pound exacting beats on the heart, pulse quickened by bass and guitars, synths to calm the nerves. Building endless rhythm beneath feet moving in time on a dance floor, or a sidewalk masquerading as one.
