In 2024, Chastity Belt’s Live Laugh Love was our Album Of The Week. The Seattle indie rockers have shared some songs since then, including a cool 764-Hero cover.

Alicia Gaines and Brian Cundiff are back today with a fresh Ganser track ahead of tour dates with Bikini Kill. New single “Futuretripping” comes with Mad Men-esque cover art, a Gaines-directed video, and some irresistible bass work.
