Gengahr’s sophomore album, Where Wildness Grows (Transgressive Records), is a triumphant evolution for the London indie-rock quartet. Following their delicate debut, A Dream Outside, this record showcases a band that has matured, trading moody introspection for a brighter, more diverse sonic palette that expertly weaves together psych, dream-pop, and synth-pop.
Born from a process of patience and determination, the album finds frontman Felix Bushe trading his earlier airy vocals for a sharper, more confident delivery. The record is anchored by John Victor’s intricate, "melting" guitar lines, which consistently blur the lines between traditional instrumentation and synth-like textures. From the infectious momentum of "I’ll Be Waiting" to the fuzzy, 90s-indebted thrash of "Burning Air," the album documents a band reaching the peak of their songwriting craft.
Key Highlights:
- Standout Tracks: Includes the revelatory single "Carrion" and the emotionally resonant closing track "Whole Again."
- Genre-Spanning: A rich tapestry of indie-rock, psych, and synth-pop that avoids the pitfalls of "landfill indie."
- Artistic Growth: A more mature, accomplished, and diverse effort that pushes the boundaries of the band's signature sound.
Essential listening for fans of intricate arrangements and lush, hazy indie soundscapes.
