Following a World First premiere on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, Gengahr now share 'Icarus' from their third full-length 'Sanctuary', released this Friday January 31 via Liberator Music (part of The Mushroom Group).
"'Icarus' is a song about growing up and coming to terms with the expectations of our youth," say the band. "As a child we believe anything is possible but as we get older there is a crushing realisation as we begin to understand that the journey of life has its own uncontrollable trajectory.
"Dave East, who made the videos for 'Heavenly Maybe' and 'Everything & More', created the visuals to go with it. Shot near his home in Cape Town the film depicts a car driving down one mountain at night in search of another to climb - much as in life, as we abandon one weight of expectation in search of a new pinnacle.”
Gengahr will perform a series of intimate instores around the UK next month, including Rough Trade East in London on February 3. The North London four-piece also headline a UK tour with their biggest London show to date at EartH in Hackney on Friday February 21.
