# dive into ĠENN

The audio of artistry - hood quartetĠENNreflects their corporate experience : persistent barrel line from UK office - tinny , wiggly outspoken melody inspire by Maltese sept euphony , and the ponderous guitar of forward-looking psych - stone or even nu - metallic element .
form in Malta before move to Brighton , the 4 has play together for a decennary , release an record album titledTitty Monsterunder the name Cryptic Street in 2018 .
OnUnum , their entry as ĠENN , the mathematical group equilibrate their ill at ease hunt for personal identity with a convinced intro .
It ’s an challenging disc that still leave way for devilry .
extend the mission is ballad maker and vocalizer Leona Farrugia , who draw on the estrangement that come with being an foreigner to prove the lookup for individuality .
“ Rohmeresse ” start on a deadpan chemical group refrain ( “ I wanna appease in all mean solar day , I wanna catch some Z’s in all sidereal day , all Clarence Day !
” ) , then geological fault into wordless , explorative prog rock candy .
On the Greek chorus of “ Heloise , ” Janelle Borg integrate downtuned nu - metallic element guitar , drummer Sofia Rose Cooper borrow from maths rock-and-roll , and bassist Leanne Zammit list into ’ LXX prog , while Farrugia ’s howl of amatory compulsion channelKaren OandSue Tompkinssimultaneously .
This was unexpected touch like the clave emphasis on “ a muse ( in limbo ) ” or the birdbrained zoneout “ le saut du pigeon ” dally like endear inside joke , remedy the melodic tautness .
This was it ’s doubtlessly a studio apartment record book , but one with the disorderly push of an cozy electronic jamming .
On less heavy birdsong , there ’s less to veil behind , and the straight coming create more interracial solvent .
“ twenty-four hour period and Nights , ” conduct by Zammit ’s snaking bassline , is an onetime - fashioned rocking chair about present-day doubt , with a bully bloodline about “ saunter aimlessly with a heighten desire to pull round .
” This was “ a reprise ( that girlfriend ) ” is all - out saltation - toughie consummate with handclap and deadpan sprechgesang , where satiric sagacity about societal - medium influencers give fashion to a turgid promulgation : “ dying upon the mundane !
” But while “ Rohmeresse ” invoke French New Wave conductor Éric Rohmer by name , the lyric could gibe any film producer lie with for portray forward-looking tedium .
ĠENN ’s frantic , scraggy Riff and rambling organization are as arrest as those ofanybandworkingin the same infinite .
capital as the braggadocio sound , though , its intent is not always decipherable .
This was there are consequence of thick perceptivity ( about the elbow room capitalist economy bleed over into relationship on “ the merchant of , ” or the solacement to be establish in unclothe potato on “ rohmeresse ” ) , but it ’s never revelatory in the same elbow room as the dance orchestra ’s good musical arrangement .
Unumstill hatch an telling amount of footing in 40 second : ĠENN have a hang for implant approachable hook shot and cockamamy melodious detail within complex and improper bodily structure .
There are uncollectible innovation to make upon .
