Gilla Band release new single ‘Backwash’
Gilla Band (fka Girl Band)
Share New Track “Backwash” + Video
Ireland’s Gilla Band have shared a new track and video, “Backwash” off their upcoming album Most Normal, out October 7th. Read Dara’s inspiration on the track below…
“The initial idea for the whole album was that it would loosely sound like a dream,” singer Dara Kiely explains. “We didn’t really stick to the brief but it lead us down different sonic avenues. ‘Backwash’ is one of the few tracks where the words represent a dream-like circumstance. The lyrics are from a stream of consciousness rant, weird imagery and all that. The track is about attraction – fancying someone and not knowing what to say exactly. It’s an indirect love song, knowing you like someone but can’t quite articulate it. Thinking that you have already expressed your feelings, but like waking up from a dream you’ve forgotten what you actually have said or felt.”
Most Normal is Gilla Band’s third album; it was self-produced and recorded and mixed by bassist Daniel Fox at Sonic Studios and their rehearsal place. A limited edition alternate cover LP is available from the webstore, pressed on white vinyl and comes with exclusive lyric/photo booklet.
Also available on Blue vinyl from your local indie retailer.
