ĠENN (uk)

Prepare for a sonic revelation as Grauzone welcomes ĠENN, a band whose music is a hard-earned statement of evolution. Hailing from Brighton, this quartet weaves a tapestry of ambition, with influences ranging from neo-psychedelic rock to post-punk intensity.

Following their triumph over the challenges of the pandemic era, as showcased in their 2021 debut EP "Liminal," ĠENN now presents "unum," their debut album. This work of art captures the lightning in a bottle that strikes when four best friends with distinct musical backgrounds come together. Each member, from guitarist Janelle's kaleidoscopic sounds to bassist Leanne's unique blend of prog-bass and jazz sensibilities, contributes to the band's royal flush of creativity.

Born from the desire to preserve individuality, ĠENN embraces their outsider status. With members of Maltese and diverse cultural roots, they explore questions of selfhood, identity, and ancestry in "unum." The album becomes an act of escapism, a getaway car from the heaviness of day-to-day life, as they navigate the storm of the music industry.

Working tirelessly, losing sleep, and investing resources, ĠENN crafted "unum" through jam sessions that felt like "puking music." For them, success is navigating the storm while finding an escape route in each other. As they rev up their musical engine, Grauzone eagerly anticipates the sonic journey that ĠENN will embark on exclusively at our festival. Get ready to be captivated by the boundless soundscapes and raw authenticity of ĠENN!
