About
Genaro are a four piece band from Carluke, near Glasgow. They have played regularly around Scotland including Go North 2006, Musicworks 2005, King Tuts, Glasgow Art College, The Spectrum Festival, The Tunnels (Aberdeen), Stereo and the QMU. They were invited to play In The City 2004 in Manchester, and
kicked off the Benbecula Records Showcase at The Arches in October, headlined by Robin Guthrie of The Cocteau Twins.
Since the release of their debut album they've had two tracks featured in the Emmy Award winning " King Lines" extreme sports film, and are now writing for their second album.
"I've adamantly eschewed the many virtues of Edinburgh's Benbecula Records for years on the back of blissful downtempo electronic releases from Christ. and Ochre, as well as folktronica fusion acts like Reverbaphon and Frog Pocket. Now, for the first time in its brief but storied history, Benbecula is managing a four-piece band that has the gall, the sheer audacity to harmonize vocals over guitar, bass, drums, and painfully bright, distorted keyboards that thematically smooth over the slightest aural gaps like Angelically hopeful drone-rock. While The Daily Record is quoted as saying "you have to scratch your head that a major hasn't snapped them up," all I can say is thank bloody fuck. I haven't had the pleasure of being inspired by such elegant but rustic music like this since the first time I heard My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, and I listen to a lot of music. Lost on a major's roster is the last place they, as artists, deserve to be." www.tinymixtapes.com
They have just released their debut album on Edinburgh based Benbecula Records, which can be purchased here
