GEL and are currently on tour in the UK/EU performing at festivals like Primavera Sound, Download, Roskilde, and more. Today, the group have released Persona’s title track. The single follows previous release “Mirage.”

Persona was Produced/engineered by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Jivebomb). The band worked more collaboratively than ever before, tapping into the creative confidence gained through relentless touring to push themselves in new directions. “We really wanted to fill out the songs more and make them more nuanced,” explains vocalist Sami Kaiser. “It’s a step forward, it’s different, it’s catchy, but it still really sounds like us.”
