Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by John Richards, host of the Morning Show on KEXP, is "Starting and Staring" by Gustaf, from the 2024 album Package Pt. 2 on Royal Mountain.
Brooklyn-based no-wave band Gustaf share the lead single from their upcoming sophomore full-length Package Pt. 2, out April 5th via Royal Mountain. The new album was produced by Erin Tonkon, who worked on David Bowie’s final album Blackstar.
With its driving bass and anxiety-ridden performance from vocalist Lydia Gammill, it's easy to see why this group is a tour mate of bands like IDLES, Sleaford Mods, and Yard Act. Check out the video below, directed by Alex Ross Perry.
