Gilla Band Completes Fourth Album Pugnello

Dublin rock group Gilla Band has completed their fourth album, which is titled Pugnello. It is noted that four years have passed since the release of Gilla Band's album Most Normal. Pugnello is described as the Dublin rock group's heaviest album to date. The record is also described as Gilla Band's self-produced fourth album.

The opening track of Pugnello is titled The Angelus, on which Dara Kiely sings vocals. The track reinterprets the Angelus and is positioned somewhere between Lightning Bolt and a ten-thousand-mile storm cloud. In addition to The Angelus, the album includes a track titled Placeholder, which features a stanza that is attributed to Dara Kiely.

Instrumentation on the record features specific technical components. The PĒRKONS drum machine is designated as one of the core elements on the album. Furthermore, Daniel Fox stands out on the project through the use of bass glissandos.

The completion of Pugnello comes four years after Most Normal. The project marks Gilla Band's fourth album overall, described as both their heaviest work to date and a self-produced album by the Dublin rock group.
