New album Red Sun Titans out 9th June

UK instore performances begin this Fri

UK headline tour dates in Sept + Oct 2023

Gengahr today release new single 'Red Sun Titans', the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album of the same name out this Friday 9th June. Sharing a new video for the song, it arrives as the band get set to kick off a week long run of UK instore performances. With recent new singles 'A Ladder' and 'In The Moment', Gengahr have embraced a wide-eyed, youthful wonderlust complimented by sleek, groove-heavy indie-pop instrumentation. 'Red Sun Titans' lands packed with nimble riffs and as a spritely spring in its step.

Lead singer and guitarist Felix Bushe comments: "'Red Sun Titans' is a song about helplessness and complacency, centered around the fear of impending climate catastrophe. A year or so ago a young fan asked me if I would write a song about global warming and I smiled awkwardly before replying 'I would think about it'. The subject matter really did not appeal to me and felt vastly out of my comfort zone but before dismissing the idea entirely it must have seeped deep into my subconscious. As a song it states no facts and offers no solutions it simply embraces the absurdity and surreal nature of our collective trajectory and rolls with it."

With new album Red Sun Titans due this Friday he continues: "'Red Sun Titans' the album is a dedication to reflection and an exploration of the bigger picture. Given the time and space to carefully consider what comes next, the record focuses on living without regret and embracing life's journey in its entirety. At times the songs on this record act as a road map for the mind, little reminders of how I want to exist.

The title 'Red Sun Titans' manifested itself like a cartoon series I would have been obsessed with as a kid. I imagined this trippy, sun scorched dystopian landscape half dream half reality and knew that this is where the songs should live.”

More about Gengahr's new album Red Sun Titans

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 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 [2020], 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.
