Chicago Post-Punk Outfit Ganser Borrow From Tomorrow in Video for “Futuretripping”

Chicago post-punk band Ganser released the single ‘Futuretripping’ with an accompanying video directed by vocalist Alicia Gaines. The track blends elastic bass, restless guitar, and deadpan vocals to satirize modern anxieties around time, anticipation, and consumer capitalism. Lyrically, the song presents the future as a dubious commodity people borrow from shady sources. Both Gaines and guitarist Brian Cundiff cite temporal disorientation from recent European touring and readjustment to Chicago as conceptual sources; Gaines describes ‘cheating time’ as an inside joke, while Cundiff frames the song’s restlessness as collective agitation about waiting for external signals. The video employs loose ’90s montage aesthetics with surreal interruptions. The band is touring with Bikini Kill.
