Odd Talk
by Ganser

Justin Roby
At Cold Waves VII, Ganser's live set (they were the first on the third day) was a perfect counterpoint to the industrial rock we had been hearing to that point. Nothing like post-punk no-wave with women leading the way to get you going and tell you you're not quite as exhausted as you thought.

This album is like if Joy Division and Elastica had an absurdist baby and I can't stop listening to it.
Favorite track: Avoidance.

Learned of this band on my last trip to Chicago. Instantly became one of my favorite modern bands. This record is easily a top 3 of 2018. Possibly my number one because I definitely listened to it more than any other record released this year.
Favorite track: PSY OPS.

It’s too much
It’s too much
It’s not too much
So far from the young creature kid
Held up in her bedroom, drawing and dreaming
I died over and over
Performing countless times for my pretend audience
Writhing and clawing under the monotony of the hills
Their protection bored me, I longed for the dark woods of the world
But the knot in my stomach ties me to safety
Don't disappoint
Don't over do
Don't die
Like, really die
I could never believe anything beyond this moment here
The future is not for me to imagine
Forward, forward
Always forward - Track Name: Satsuma

“What a time to be alive,” they said
“Lives only lived so much”
To offer a hand
A sign of moral support
Moments of gesture
Hold your tongue
(Hold your tongue)
Million and a half
Million and a half people
Million and a half
Million and a half people
Million and a half
Million and a half people
Million and a half
Million and a half people
All the things trouble can cause
Smothered and smashed up
‘Cause it’s all for naught
Never not
The secret to modern life
Is to be good with your words
(Good with your words)
Million and a half
Million and a half people
Million and a half
Million and a half people

Beating
And always
Looking
Always something
Not you
Salt and vinegar
Fuck me
OK!
A pace
And tension
Hear anger
Fear
She's got me
Salt and vinegar
Fuck me
All right
It’s all right
I saw it wrong
Realize
Nothing
Bruised knees
Salt and vinegar
Fuck me
OK!
Breaking teeth
Biting tongues
It’s all right
As long as it saves us
It’s all right
It’s all right
It’s all right
As long as it saves us
It’s all right
Salt and Vinegar
It’s all right
OK! - Track Name: Avoidance

A moment
Was there something you wanted?
Give way to hours
With nothing to say
No answers just
Speculation
It passes time
Wastes my time
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Do you hear it?
Though still
The faint hum electric
It murmurs of meaning
A sort of expression
Telling there’s no telling
And nowhere to go
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in
Your spit and skin
Has done me in
It’s done me in - Track Name: YES NO

Hello again
My permanent friend
The tight fit I’ve learned to live in
Live on in this well lit dead end
Pull tight
Make no mistake
No mistakes
Here it goes again
Signals misfire
Too much wear (not enough desire)
But don’t worry
They’d probably never notice
You weren’t there
Pull tight
Make no mistake
No mistakes
Here it goes again
Remember the years
When my patience wore thin?
You’ll never be
Quick enough
When you’re reluctant to
Even show up
There’s no good side
Just better lies
Loose boundaries
And messy lines
So pretty as they
Draw up divides - Track Name: Marsh
-
I don’t know what to say
Tense and hungry
Hurt and words
It crawls
Only so many ways
More and more
And down
Sink to safety
Should I
And why
Mumble and spit words
You can't hear
I don't speak
It runs
A race to an end
This sympathy game
Across salt lands
I’m no good with names
I can’t remember we were
Less and more
Less
And more
Less
And more
And more
Should I
And why
Should I
Mumble and spit words
You can't hear
I don't speak
Should I
And why
Deep in my skin
Should I
A why
A when
Cut off
Cut down
Caught up in
Should I
And why
Should I
Should I
And why
Should I
Should I
And why
Should I
And why
Find love for you again
Again - Track Name: Aubergine

Please take it away from me
I can’t be trusted with myself
I’ll come if you’ll have me
I’ll come if you’ll have me
Stay if you find me
You’ll never find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
Hold me down
Hold me down
And make me promise
Make me promise
I won’t do it again
Do it again
Do it again - Track Name: Revel

This world
Don’t let me die here
Your words like atmosphere
A change
No sense of direction
Exchanged for something less
Something less
Bereft
The weight of the world
Compressed and concealed
(More than anything)
More than any other thing
(More than anything)
(More than anything)
More than any other thing
(More than anything)
(More than anything)
More than any other thing
(More than anything)
(More than anything)
More than any other thing
(More than anything)
In the core
The core of all things
The ground
A shaky promise
You're always in your head
And it's still not good enough
I should ask
I should want
I should never ask
Never want
Never ask
More than anything
More than any other thing
More than anything
More than any other thing - Track Name: Touch Insensitive

“Such a fine sunny day
And now I have to go”
Seems the dream is ended
And it's no one that I know
No freedom in the keeping
Please clear the exit row
Please go
So this is what it feels like
And we wouldn't need to sleep
Or remember anything
I wouldn't need to be
Something
Breathe and scream
You think there's truth in order
That there’s order at all
Some answer to the problems
But the house was built too small
No safer in the shelter
Please watch your step
Hope not to fall
So this is what it feels like
Find something to fill you up
Somewhere to make you whole
And the edges how they shimmer
But the sky's not beautiful
So this is what it feels like
Well, I don’t care for this at all
So this is what it feels like
So this is what it feels like
So this is what it feels like
No face to the sound
No eyes to meet mine
No names to recognize
Some days the bright still hurts
We’re children every time
Look to be blind
Be blind
Be blind
