Gengahr share new track 'Icarus' • News • DIY Magazine

With their third album ‘Sanctuary’ landing tomorrow (31st January), Gengahr are giving us our final teaser of what to expect with dreamy new track ‘Icarus’.

“’Icarus’ is a song about growing up and coming to terms with the expectations of our youth,” they explain. “As a child we believe anything is possible but as we get older there is a crushing realisation as we begin to understand that the journey of life has its own uncontrollable trajectory. Dave East, who made the videos for ‘Heavenly Maybe’ and ‘Everything & More’, created the visuals to go with it. Shot near his home in Cape Town the film depicts a car driving down one mountain at night in search of another to climb - much as in life, as we abandon one weight of expectation in search of a new pinnacle.”
