Product Overview
Girl Band - The Talkies (CD) Recorded in November 2018 at Ballintubbert House, Ireland - Üa few pay grades above what we're used to!Ý - the alien construction of Ballintubbert and its corridors help to navigate Girl BandÙs cataclysmic sound within a world of its own. ÜIn many ways the idea behind the album was to make an audio representation of the house.Ý And this enigmatic manor becomes Girl BandÙs sonic playground: to place yourself within a space and to work with that space harmoniously. Dan continues, ÜWe recorded all the drums twice: once on the landing and once in the cellar [The Well of Souls] and during production we could actually cut in between both these sounds.Ý ØThe TalkiesÙ vacillates between being big, ambient and atmospheric to suddenly terribly intimate and up close. ØThe TalkiesÙ is living, breathing, in a continual state of metamorphosis. It encompasses everything there is to love about Girl Band while simultaneously causing an exciting level of discomfort. The moaning and sawing guitars, atonal blankets of sound, abstractive lyrical repetition, chugging snare and ascending / descending snakes and ladders noise-rock guitar deliver something that is so distinctively Girl Band. ØEregenisÙ: Album closes to steady breathing. It drips with catharsis, slow and mindful and purging over the familiar key and darkly syncopated grooves which closes the door to Girl BandÙs sonic universe and brings ØThe TalkiesÙ to its first and final silence.
