New Band Spotlight: Gengahr



She’s A Witch

Their new single is a clear indication to why most critics tipped the North London outfit to succeed in 2015. The dreamy vocals float along in this Modest Mouse meets the The Cure number. You wouldn’t call this anthem but it’s not far off as it slowly builds layer upon layer into the warped guitar solo.  

Powder

This was the band’s debut single in late 2014. For anyone wanting some middle ground between The Vaccines guitar playing and Alt-J’s studio wizardry, well, look no further. The guitar solo will have Graham Coxon dribbling over its simplicity, fuzz and confusion.


Bathed In Light

Slow verse and a euphoric and catchy chorus. What’s not to like?!? The production on this track is the best of the three here. The track really is as simple as they come but listen after listen (we’re pushing about 70 now) you will notice something new. There is the odd trippy Horrors guitar lick and the crescendo has some keys which sound like a LSD trip at a Blackpool pleasure beach. Well played.
