Ghinzu

W.O.W.A

£13.99

Released: 29th May 2026. Ghinzu return with their fourth studio album and their first in 17 years, 'W.O.W.A', out via Play It Again Sam on 29th May 2026. The record has been a work in progress for some time, with Ghinzu having written almost 90 fully fledged ideas for their new album, before whittling this down to the final tracklisting. 'We had all these hard drives everywhere', recalls Ghinzu frontman John Descamps. 'We wanted to gather ten tracks together to really represent all those years of condensed work'. The results take Ghinzu back to basics, before blasting them into uncharted territories. Their formative influences - the energy and expression of Queen; the raucous grunge noise of Nirvana and The Melvins - remain, alongside their passion for visual art. Name-checking the painters Gerhard Richter and Francis Bacon as points of inspiration, they stepped back from their perfectionist leanings to embrace music at its most raw and powerful.
