Gengahr | Red Sun Titans [180g White Vinyl Album w/ Poster] LP

Experimental North London alt-pop outfit Gengahr return with their anticipated new album, Red Sun Titans. Comprising of Hugh Schulte (bass), Danny Ward (drums), Felix Bushe (vocals/guitar) and John Victor (guitar), Gengahr first arrived in 2015 with their debut album, A Dream Outside, gathering rave reviews for its dark take on dreamy shoegaze and updated approach to British indie rock. Red Sun Titans is Gengahr at their finest: a bold collection of indie pop that continues to push boundaries.

Red Sun Titans (out 9th June) is the sound of a band reborn – harnessing the energy and inspiration of their past but with a bold and fiercely independent vision for the future. It’s an album “caught in between two worlds,” as frontman Felix Bushe puts it – a colourful celebration where you’ve come from, and dreaming of where you could go from here.

Entering the studio with Matt Glasbey (alt-J, Coldplay) producing and mixing – with executive production by Charlie Andrew (Wolf Alice, London Grammar, all three alt-J albums) – the band saw a chance to revisit the origins of where their creativity came from. The album developed out of self-analysis and resultingly is one of two distinct sides: one a naive counterpart longing to exist in a simpler state, and another about checking your ego and coming to terms with great loss. Red Sun Titans sits at that crossroads where the past is still in view and to be learned from, but the future is there for the taking. It’s the ambitious, unrestrained and widescreen statement Gengahr have always threatened to make.
