Guster's ninth studio LP, Ooh La La reveals a band fully in touch with the

voracious creative energy that first inspired their formation. A major leap

forward for lead vocalist Ryan Miller, guitarist Adam Gardner, drummer

Brian Rosenworcel, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds, Ooh

La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense

of confidence, conviction, and commitment to the raw sincerity that's made

them so beloved.

The follow-up to 2019's Look Alive, Ooh La La marks a bold departure from it's

predecessor. This time around, the band worked mainly with producer Josh

Kaufman (The Hold Steady, The National, Bonny Light Horseman), holing up

at Isokon Studio in Woodstock and carving out a lush and expansive sound rich

in acoustic guitars and graceful piano work. With additional production from

Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen), Rich Costey (Death Cab for Cutie, Of

Monsters and Men), and Primarily mixed by Peter Katis (The National, Kurt

Vile), the result endlessly radiates an undeniable warmth, even as it's songs

delve into the more daunting aspects of living in modern times.
