Released via Liberator Music (part of The Mushroom Group, which is home to artists including DMA’S, Vance Joy, Childish Gambino, Wolf Alice and more), new album 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.
Red Sun Titans will mark the band’s first full length release since Sanctuary [2020] and sets Gengahr on an exciting new trajectory. Having passed through the happy-to-be-here phase of debut album A Dream Outside [2015] and traversed the baggage of adversity and tragedy that underpinned Where Wildness Grows [2018] and Sanctuary, Red Sun Titans sees the band wrestle free from those energies to set sail anew.
Entering the studio with Matt Glasbey (alt-J, Coldplay) producing and mixing – with executive production by Charlie Andrew (Wolf Alice, London Grammar, Bloc Party, 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 resultantly 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.
