GAISTER is a trio made up of the musicians Olivia Salvadori, Akihide Monna, and Coby Sey. Released last year, their self-titled debut is a burst of voice and rhythm, both studied and intuitive, that connects various musical traditions, both classical and folk, into a decidedly contemporary statement. Moments of serenity are cut with caustic blasts of rhythm. Operatic vocals sit on top of banging drums. It’s somewhere between modern classical and early Gang Gang Dance. In a world of experimental music that maybe plays it a little too safe, it’s a thrilling listen.
