gash Unveil New Single/Video, "data master"
Today, gash — the Eau, Claire experimentalists praised by Pigeons & Planes, Alternative Press, The Line of Best Fit, and more — present “data master,” the new single/video from their forthcoming album, at least you know what you’re laughing at, out September 25th via Angel Tapes / Fire Talk. Known for their confrontational live sets & mercurial recorded music, gash present their take on traditional song structure on "data master." Centered around electronic flourishes and processed vocals, "data master" and its several detours present a thrilling glimpse at gash's singular yet slippery sound.
at least you know what you’re laughing at presents the most holistic version of gash, following years of sporadic releases that act as compilations of the band’s loose artifacts. Unlike those predecessors, at least you know what you’re laughing at began mainly as digital compositions, a stumbled-upon sample giving way to a guitar lick then uploaded to Google Drive and mulled over by the entire band. Workshopped following a 2025 self-booked tour, gash’s first outing in their current formation, at least you know what you’re laughing at is marked by a newfound ease that emanates through each track. Anchored by Nyberg’s honed confidence as a producer, as well as the years spent as friends and loose collaborators in the Eau Claire scene, at least you know what you’re laughing at commands its space with unflinching precision. The result is a real-time snapshot at “the new gash,” straddling digital textures and noise-rock impulses from post-hardcore howls to tender indie twinkles.
