Sanctuary, the third full-length album from London’s Gengahr, has been released today and is available now. To support the album the band are headed down under with a tour of AU and NZ this March.
The critically acclaimed outfit’s third release has been hailed by UK music press, with BBC 6 Music choosing it as their ‘Album Of The Day’ yesterday, and Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1 making it ‘Album For The Weekend’ this Sat/Sun. The band also wowed listeners with an exclusive live session for Radio 1’s Annie Mac, recorded at the famous at Maida Vale Studios – watch the electric session here.
Sanctuary features the single ‘Heavenly Maybe’, which is currently on rotation at triple j, is A-listed at BBC 6 Music, playlisted at BBC Radio 1, and is Greg James’ Tune Of The Week on Radio 1’s Breakfast Show. DIY called the track “a pleasing slice of indie-pop”; and Clash “an ultra-infectious new synth jammer”. The single reached #28 in Spotify’s UK Viral Chart.
More expansive and ambitious than ever before, Sanctuary is the experimental alt-pop band’s finest body of work to date, a DIY triumph which welcomes old friend Jack Steadman of Bombay Bicycle Club as producer, adding his distinct brand of symphonic sparkle to Gengahr’s complex, layered sound and pushing the band further into all-out pop territory than they’d ever dared stray before. Recorded at the brand new Propagation House way out in Bude in Cornwall, the album also recaptures the magic that old school friends Felix Bushe, John Victor, Hugh Schulte and Danny Ward felt when they were making their debut.
Next month Gengahr will return to our shores for an Australian and New Zealand tour. This will be New Zealand fans’ first ever chance to catch Gengahr live, when they kick off the tour in Auckland. Don’t delay in grabbing your tickets to catch Gengahr live on stage in March!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
