ALBUM OF THE YEAR #7: GENGAHR - WHERE WILDNESS GROWS

Where Wildness Grows sees Gengahr step out from the shadows of gloomy falsetto indie sounds to produce a more experimental, daring collection of songs, whilst still remaining true to their original work. Their sophomore album sees lead-singer Felix Bushe expand his vocal range, intertwining his easily-recognisable falsetto with a deeper, huskier voice. The summery sounds sees Gengahr move away from the doom and gloom whilst album-highlight ‘Carrion’ is an energetic rock-n-roll whirlwind that confirms Gengahr are stepping up, they're more confident and more self-assured than ever. They don’t ignore their softer side however as ‘Pull Over (Now)’ shows, one of a number of love songs on the record. It’s an uplifting album that pushes the boundaries of Gengahr’s sound and shows their vast improvements since they first emerged on the scene.
