GENGAHR - REVEAL VIDEO TO NEW SINGLE ‘HEROINE’

With the release of their debut album A Dream Outside only a matter of weeks away, North London group Gengahr are pleased to share the video to single, ‘Heroine’. Currently on the 6 Music B-list, the Connor Gilhooly-directed clip sees the band make an appearance in one of their videos for the first time, whilst being inter-spliced with footage of a young troubadour chasing after his heroine.

Explaining the concept behind the video, Gilhooly says:

“With Heroine, we wanted create a modern take on a classic story using a unique and visually striking aesthetic. It was also very important to highlight the energy of the track and we got the band to appear in one of their videos for the first time and really go for it – they’re usually all behind the camera!”

While they bashfully describe their successes to date as “happy accidents”, there’s clearly something greater at work behind Gengahr’s rise. A timelessness that has captured the hearts of all they’ve come into contact with, last year’s signing to independent Transgressive and the upcoming release of their debut album A Dream Outside – awarded five stars by DIY magazine – are just the start. Comparisons to Radiohead are anything but reductive; there is sure to be a similarly twisting and enormous path ahead of this hypnotic North London quartet.

Gengahr are:
Felix Bushe (vocals / guitar), Hugh Schulte (bass), John Victor (guitar), Danny Ward (drums / vocals)
