Guster's playful yet literate, spirited and largely acoustic pop / rock returns with the endearing college favorite's first studio album in three years.
'Ganging up on the Sun' - produced by Ron Aniello [Lifehouse, Barenaked Ladies and Guster's previous album, 'Keep It Together'], the band, and new member Joe Pisapia - retains the unconventional, melodic pop craftsmanship and flawless harmonies that have garnered Guster one a devoted fan following in America. Guster brightens up any season with 'Ganging up on the Sun'.
"I definitely think this is our most ambitious album and we were a lot more fearless going into this one musically, lyrically and production-wise," vocalist / guitarist Ryan Miller tells Billboard. "In some ways, these songs are all over the map in texture and sound and tempo and feel but I hope, and think, that there emerges a through line that draws them all together. What that line is, I don't really know. Melody? Pop sensibility?"
