Born in a half-empty van en route to SXSW, New York’s Gustaf is a post-punk quintet built on chaos, charisma, and a sharp edge. Their 2021 debut Audio Drag for Ego Slobs turned heads, earning praise from NME and even a remix from Beck. Now, with Package Pt. 2, they deliver a biting and infectious follow-up—full of angular riffs, booming percussion, and spoken-word vocals that hit like a jolt. Channeling the energy of the B-52s, Sonic Youth, and Talking Heads, Gustaf throws a noisy party where existential questions sneak in through the back door. Smart, loud, and impossible to ignore.
