Gilla Band Releases Fourth Album Pugnello
Gilla Band has released Pugnello, its fourth album, which combines childhood memories, adult life, grief, footballers, biblical references, dealing with a schizophrenia diagnosis, and general absurdity.
Gilla Band has released Pugnello, its fourth album. Hot Press gave the album a 10/10 rating. The record combines childhood memories, adult life, grief, footballers, biblical references, dealing with a schizophrenia diagnosis, and general absurdity.
The album opens with The Angelus, which contains an expression concerning the Irish nation. The track places Alan Duggan Borges guitar against Adam Faulkner percussion at 170 bpm. Alogia contains a pulse-funk groove in the style of LCD Soundsystem, while The Megazord and several other tracks do not fit into a specific genre.
Pitchfork described Pugnello as the bands most methodical and intense album to date. The synth melody on The Megazord and the vocal structure of Three Hands Clapping are highlighted.
Gilla Band formed in 2011 and soon began working on a style combining noise-punk with dance music. In 2013, the band released a cover of Blawans post-dubstep track Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage. The lineup consists of vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, drummer Adam Faulkner, and bassist Daniel Fox.
