Though originally named RES, they were forced to rename after discovering an artist already called RES on iTunes. Their new name is a play on Gengar, one of the original Pokémon.[1] Their debut album, A Dream Outside, was released on 15 June 2015.[2] In October 2017 it was announced their second album, Where Wildness Grows, would be released on 9 March 2018.[3]

After BBC Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens played their first single, "Fill My Gums With Blood" on his radio show, the band were invited to perform at the Introducing stage at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival.[4]

Critical reception edit

A Dream Outside received positive reviews from most music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 79, based on 10 reviews, which indicates "almost entirely favourable reviews".[5] Rhian Daly of NME described A Dream Outside as "an oddly soothing blend of dark romance and gentle psychedelia."[6]

Gwilym Mumford of The Guardian praised the album as being subtly refined and "psychpop with heavy emphasis on the pop."[7]

Haydon Spenceley of Clash Magazine wrote, "It might be jumping the gun a bit to call them the 'saviours of British guitar music', or anything along those lines, but it must surely rank amongst the finest guitar-driven debut album to be coughed up by British music thus far in 2015."[8]
