The Next Life

Description

The Belfast quartet’s latest 12'' EP is titled The Next Life, in a nod to David Bowie’s final album. On side A, a cover of Brian Eno’s “Third Uncle” featuring new drummer Gib Cassidy. On the other side, a song by producer David Holmes and a second by Gabe Gurnsey of Factory Floor, which adds a dance touch to Girls Names’ style. After selling out quickly following its release last February, Girls Names’ second album is being reissued in a limited edition with 6 bonus tracks. The Belfast quartet takes a new direction on The New Life, after a first garage-pop album released in 2011. On this album, Girls Names adopts a more psychedelic style, somewhere between surf rock and noise pop.
