Seminal experimentalists Gilla Band have returned with their introspective new opus 'Giraffe'. Locking into a hypnotic drum and bass groove, wiry guitar cuts punctuate vocalist Dara Kiely's stream of consciousness. Cutting away to abrasive interludes of pedal-powered raw energy, Kiely explains: “In this track, the first few sections represent what my general headspace is like. It can be a very scattered and sometimes lonely place. Feeling unloved and finding it difficult to articulate what I’m actually thinking." Dropping into a subby, dance-inspired ending he continues: "The outro on the other hand indirectly details a kind of confirmation that affection towards me does exist. While I appreciate it, I still find that hard to believe. “She chased me out the door with a hairbrush demanding that I would wear a suitable jacket.” It’s a very Irish Mammy action. That amount of love is difficult for me to accept but it is a beautiful thing to have in life.” Gilla Band will tour extensively at the end of the year, flowing into next.
