GANS - Good For The Soul
“We felt connected when we met and we had ambitions that lay beyond that world,” explains GANS (‘Goose’ in German, fact fans) guitarist and vocalist Thomas Rhodes of his band’s gestation.
“We are fiercely proud of where we are from and we strongly believe in how we were raised. It’s just we have ambitions that are more Copacabana than Costa Del Dudley.”
The Black Country duo launch their mission statement on this restless and carefully constructed debut album.
Released on Peter Doherty’s Strap Originals and produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Working Men’s Club, Amyl & The Sniffers), Good For The Soul ambitiously blends electronics, rock and post-punk grit into an eclectic hotch-potch which remarkably never compromises on their identity or its sense of direction.
