After ten years of danceable synth hooks and larger-than-life energy, Copenhagen duo GENTS are turning the volume down – and the intimacy up.
GENTS is a musical partnership between Theis Vesterløkke and Niels Fejrskov Juhl, creating music that spans from energetic synthpop to introspective acoustic storytelling. Over a decade, the duo has developed a distinctive sound that combines electronic production with genuine emotion and playful wit.
On the album Masculinity, GENTS trade in lush synthpop for fragile acoustic guitars, storytelling lyrics, and a more stripped-back soundscape.
Masculinity explores what it means to be a modern, multifaceted man – a soft, privileged "good guy" who still struggles to live up to his own ideals. The album moves between the personal and the political: from lying in a yoga pose doubting your skills as a father, to being praised for not killing a cat; from splitting the cost of birth control and calling yourself a feminist – to wondering if it actually makes a difference.
Though the familiar GENTS wink might still be there, the new almost folk-like songs reveal a different kind of vulnerability — two artists in their thirties, inviting listeners beneath the skin and into their doubts through raw, self-exposing, and seemingly trivial stories.
Released: January 30, 2026 on Konkylie.
