Gilla Band – “Eight Fivers”

The Irish group Gilla Band, formerly known as Girl Band, have announced a new album, Most Normal, the follow-up to their 2019 album The Talkies. They’re introducing it with the propulsive “Eight Fivers,” which is built around the scowling refrain: “I spent all my money on shit clothes.”

“‘Eight Fivers’ is about being out of touch with modern circumstances while feeling socially limited,” the band’s Dara Kiely said. “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.”
