ĠENN team up with Aidan Moffat for new single "Jaguar Sun"

Anglo-Maltese quartet ĠENN have teamed up with Arab Strap's Aidan Moffat for their first release of 2026, moody new single "Jaguar Sun", being released as a 12” by Mogwai’s Rock Action Records.

Unfurling over 6 minutes, "Jaguar Sun" is ĠENN re-introducing themselves as masters of atmosphere, the sonics sprawl but never stray from an equally telepathic sense of groove. Vocalist Leona Farrugia is equally at home delivering whispered couplets as spreading her wings with soaring runs. They meld with Aidan Moffat’s textured vocals in a link-up that was manifested at the very beginning of the track’s writing process.

On the collaboration, Leona says: “We started jamming out the song and immediately I was intrigued by the idea of a duet. I could see the vision. When it developed even more, I could really hear Aidan’s voice… almost like a god coming from the heavens. I imagined the juxtaposition of the grit of Aidan’s voice but also his storytelling and aura in general.”

After reaching out, Leona and Aidan spent a summer trading emails about the media and culture they were consuming, and how this influenced the track: “it’s quite rare these days to find people who are willing to give you their time, and stop and think with you, and create something with you that is worthwhile and significant to both.”

Aidan Moffat offers on the collaboration:

“ĠENN were already on my radar, so the request to join them for a song was a very pleasant surprise. The instrumental they sent over was brilliantly and suitably moody to accommodate my gruff ramblings, so we had a chat about the song's themes. I'd been reading about Einstein's block universe model, and the philosophical questions it raises. Is free will real? Are our stories already written? It seemed to suit Leona's themes well, so I recorded the vocal on my laptop in an empty studio room while the Arab Strap album was being mixed next door.”

The limited edition 12" will be released on glass clear vinyl on 6th November 2026.
