Anglo-Maltese quartet ĠENN have announced their debut album unum set for release on 6th October through Liminal Collective. To mark this, the band have shared new single ‘Days and Nights’. It’s a bass-heavy track with a vocal and swings between semi-spoken commands in the verses, and yet untethered, vibrato howls during the choruses. ‘Days and Nights’ offers a sense of the inherent juxtaposition that life offers, the lightness of experience often leading us into a deeper rumination about our position in the world. It’s an ongoing process; a floored quest for completion as the sun continues to rise and fall. Vocalist Leona Farrugia adds:
“This rumination is close to heart, almost comic at times. The parachute of experiences can leave you numb and unsettled, I often feel that one can never be fully equipped for what life has in store.”
The release is accompanied by a visually arresting music video directed by Charles Gall who worked with Sports Team and English Teacher, amongst others.
Along with the album announcement comes the launch of an interactive online visual space unum 3D which the band describe as:
“A spatial concept designed to present some of the facets of the mundane. This representation on a computer screen slowly presents us with unexpected turns and surprising tricks that makes some of it not so mundane. As a companion to the album, the house exists to engage with the lyrical themes in a dimension outside of, but in tandem to, what the music offers.”
