Godcaster is an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York.

History

Godcaster released their debut album, Long Haired Locusts, in 2020. This album garnered the attention of some music publications, who gave the album positive reviews. The group released their second full-length, a self-titled album, in 2023, to further positive reviews.

Godcaster's 2025 single "Judy Living Daylights" was produced by of Montreal frontperson Kevin Barnes and used Barnes' personal studio to record their upcoming 3rd release. This was after being of Montreal's opening act during their 2024 tour.

Reception

Pitchfork reviewer Zach Schonfeld described Godcaster's debut Long Haired Locusts as 'teetering right on the edge of irredeemable obnoxiousness, daring you to resist their charm and lightning-fast musicianship.' For their self-titled effort, Pitchfork reviewer Zhenzhen Yu felt that "the band maintains its characteristic mayhem and mythology while continuing to diversify."'
