GENTS is a recreational space, which welcomes everyone is welcome to come and feel good, while we look for sense and meaning behind it, all together.<\/h4>\n

In a Q&A with GENTS, they discuss their sound, influences and tell us more about their new release, a two-part single, \u2018Moments\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the inspiration and message behind ‘Moments’?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After coming home after a long tour last year, we went straight to the studio. We think it’s fair to say that ‘Moments’ has more of a \u201cband\u201d feel or live nerve than the rest of our releases – and that\u2019s definitely due to this energy that was inside us at the time. So it\u2019s a snapshot of where we were in our lives. Touring is fun, but it’s also intense and exhausting, which makes it such an emotional rollercoaster ride. You just run the whole gamut of emotions, and this inspired us to write these songs, where we invite people to voice their feelings by doing it ourselves.<\/p>\n

How would you describe your sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our beloved friend Better Person once called our genre “sentimental optimism”. But we prefer the term spa pop: our sound is both soul-nurturing and melodic, but we are also trying to create a space for contemplation, compassion and companionship.<\/p>\n
