There鈥檚 an intriguing strangeness that bubbles under the surface with Gengahr. Four piece indie pop needn鈥檛 be complicated, but taking influence from the fantastical cinematic worlds of David Lynch and Terry Gilliam sure makes things interesting.
Fronted by Felix Bushe, the North London quartet first got their music on the Uploader in early 2014. The singer鈥檚 words stand out, exploring the surreal and dark corners of both the supernatural and grounded worlds. On 鈥淔ill My Gums with Blood鈥� Bushe tells the story of 鈥渁 little boy vampire who falls for a girl鈥� whilst guitarist John Victor channels Jonny Greenwood鈥檚 Paranoid Android style twinkle and twang. 鈥淪he鈥檚 a Witch鈥� is an ethereal, melodic canter, driven on by tight knit drums and phase shifting guitar. It鈥檚 this unique mixture of atmosphere and musicianship that landed the band a slot on the 麻豆官网首页入口 Introducing line-up at Glastonbury last year. After support from our London show and Radio 1鈥檚 Huw Stephens, they hit the stage at Worthy Farm with plenty of momentum and left it with a whole load of new admirers. Further live shows have included sharing the bill with 麻豆官网首页入口 Introducing alumni Dry The River and alt-j. Their upcoming debut album (recorded at Middle Farm Studios with James Bragg and currently tentatively slated for an early 2015 release) has astronomic potential: we don鈥檛 think SXSW will take much convincing of that.
