Ahead of the release of their new album ‘Stains on Silence’, set for release on June 15th via Tough Love Records, Belfast’s Girls Names are sharing a third taster from the record, “The Impaled Mystique”.
The track moves with an icy swagger and finds the trio venturing to a more experimental territory, with frontman Cathal Cully’s reverb-drenched vocals giving way to dissonant pianos stabs and sharp guitar tones.
Speaking about the track, Cathal Cully comments: “We’re proud of this song as it’s both quite strange but also recognisably the closest thing to a traditional pop song as we’ve written in years in its structure, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, breakdown, outro etc. But it’s very odd and very alien sounding.”
