“We went through phases of using samplers and synths and exploring the more electronic side of stuff, then trying out power ballads for a while."
"Consistently groovy indie-haze tracks with irresistible hooks amidst smooth vocal tones."
UK-based outfit Gengahr are gaining some traction down under with new single She's A Witch.. Gengahr have been steadily making noise over in the UK but their latest single Witch is their first track to gain traction in Australia. And rightly so with its playful atmosphere and airy vocals it doesn’t bother to take itself too seriously, which is definitely all right by Pilerats. It's a super smooth piece piece of indie-pop, and with supports for the likes of Alt-J and Wolf Alice on the horizon, it seems a lot of others are taking notice. Follow Gengahr: FACEBOOK / TWITTER
