Genaro "Genaro" Benbecula Records, 2007 (BEN038CD) CD Album 5060110360734 Release date: 23 July 2007 BUY THIS RELEASE Track Listing 01 Anyone Home 02 Garp 52 03 Suspicions 04 Into the Sun 05 Dark Corners of the Mind 06 Friends to the End 07 The Feeling's Gone 08 Once in a While 09 Forward Motion 10 Breakout 11 Throw it Around Benbecula Records are pleased to announce the release of the debut album by the four piece band Genaro. In 2004 and 2005 the band have been hard at work rehearsing the live set and writing new songs for said release. Following their acclaimed album on the original Minerals Series Box Set, limited promotional CDs containing songs from the new album have already been met with very positive words from the national press ... Video Reviews "ANOTHER unsigned Scottish band that stops you in your tracks. Genaro are signed to the Benbecula Records label and release their debut album early next year. The three tracks they've sent are so good you have to scratch your head that a major hasn't snapped them up. Garp 52, with its descending plucked guitar and rollicking beat, is like a well played The Bees track. A dreamy lilting tune which, in only 2.04 minutes, lifts you from dreary October to sun-filled July" Daily Record "... It's a sound which swirls and shifts before building slowly into crystalline crescendos (cripes!), which wash over you to such an extent that it's easy to overlook the fact that it's all effectively underpinned by intelligent song structures and rather good ear for chiming melody." Nude Magazine "... There is a fine line in the risky profession of innovative guitar music between brilliance and wanksmithery and Benbecula signings Genaro appear to tread this with glee. Still, the majority of their debut sits on the right side of the divide, glowing with a warmth that often eludes their more calculated contemparies." The List "With an undeniable ear for an excellent tune, great lyrics and an assured air of confidence, Genaro produce one great song after another. Songs such as “Anyone Home”, “Garp 52”, “Suspicions”, “Walk into the Sun” and “The Feeling’s Gone” are way up there with anything the current clutch of indie darlings has produced and Genaro deserve wider recognition for it." Sideline "... This may be Benbecula's first foray into the world outside of computers, but they've found something truly special in Genaro." Music OMH "Genaro emerge with their debut LP, and it was certainly worth the wait ... an album of rare craft and beauty." Skinny "Genaro’s eponymous debut is destined to establish the Carluke quartet as the cream not only of the lysergic Scottish post-rock crop, but of all guitar-based UK music ..." Tiny Mix Tapes “... The album is clever, it is deep, and it is different. Genaro may have some sounds that are similar to other rock groups, but they have used these sounds so well that they have created something completely new; something indistinguishable but unmistakable.” Igloomag Berichte "Zu hoffen bleibt nur, dass dieses Album nicht in der Flut aus Alben untergeht. Dazu ist es viel zu schön!" Rote Raupe |
