ANCHR's Artist of the Week: Gustaf

Gustaf is Lydia Gammill, Tine Hill, Melissa Lucciola, Vram Kherlopian, and Tarra Thiessen

Thanks to their notoriety around the New York live music scene, Brooklyn’s Gustaf attracted the attention of many music fans without releasing a single recorded piece of music for their first two years of being a band. Gustaf garnered their initial buzz by sharing the stage with the likes of Omni, Dehd and none other than Beck.

After forming in 2018, the group released singles “Design” and “Mine” in the later part of 2020— finally allowing listeners around the world a chance to experience all their magic. Produced by Chris Coady, who has worked with bands like Beach House, Future Islands, and TV On The Radio, the debut singles showcase a captivating and lively energy from Gustaf. Both tracks deliver art punk vibes laced with recurring call-and-response style vocals that egg listeners on. The band will be touring with Idles this fall, and that playful tone of their music will be the perfect provide the perfect way to ramp up the crowd for Idles’ rowdiness.
