North London band Gengahr have announced their new album, 'Where Wildness Grows', will be released via Transgressive Records on March 9 2018. This will come almost three years after their debut, 'A Dream Outside'.
The band spent two years writing and recording its follow up, a process which saw them reject multiple recordings and eventually return to the drawing board, re-group and head back to the studio with a clarity and conviction to deliver an album which sees them taking a bold and ambitious artistic stride.
“The journey has been far from straight-forward up until now and in many ways we are an altogether different band than the one that wrote 'A Dream Outside',” says frontman Felix Bushe.
“Over the past two years we have given everything in order to create an album that would meet all our ambitions, fulfilling our vision of what Gengahr is now. It’s been gruelling at times, but like a caterpillar entering metamorphosis you know the moment of darkness will be outshone by the transformation."
The LP was recorded in London this summer with producer Neil Comber (Glass Animals, M.I.A, Songhoy Blues). Ahead of its release, the band share new single, ‘Mallory’, the second cut to be taken from 'Where Wildness Grows' after revealing ‘Carrion’ last month.
Gengahr will also be joining Jungle on their European tour. See dates further down.
