Gilla Band, who were previously called Girl Band, have announced a new album. Most Normal is out October 7 via Rough Trade. Today they’ve shared the first single, “Eight Fivers,” and its video.
“‘Eight Fivers’ is about being out of touch with modern circumstances while feeling socially limited,” singer Dara Kiely said in a statement. “Never fitting in and kind of proud of it. Stuck with what I have and happy for it. Being grateful and not fashionable, self-conscious and too aware of what is lacking. Accepting that jealousy has played a big role in my life but trying not to feed into it.”
The video was animated and directed by Mortis Studios with Ruben Hernandez.
