Encore: Guster joins host Talia Schlanger

Guster has been making well-loved alt-rock, including their big hit “Fa Fa”, for over 25 years, and they still manage to surprise themselves with their new music. There’s trippy and textured sounds on their latest album, Look Alive, and the American band even experiments with a British accent. Today, lead singer Ryan Miller and drummer Brian Rosenworcel stop by to talk about the “Leonard Cohen versus Bob Dylan” philosophies of music-making. And we’ll hear live recordings from the first leg of their Look Alive tour. It’s Guster, on an encore edition of the World Cafe with host Talia Schlanger.
