Formed in January 2009, Girls Names quickly garnered recognition outside of the confines of their hometown of Belfast with the release of their eponymous debut EP in 2010 through New York's Captured Tracks. A mini-album through London imprint Tough Love soon followed, setting the foundations for their critically acclaimed debut LP Dead To Me, released in April last year again by Tough Love in Europe and cult West Coast label Slumberland Records in the US. 

Girls Names return in 2012 and are hinting at a slightly different direction and its all the more positive for it. This new single titled ‘A Troubled See’ makes up one half of a 7” split with label mates Weird Dreams. The release will be available from Tough Love records on 25th June and Slumberland Records the following day. The track itself has a wonderful simplicity, an endearing guitar hook that pulls the hip muscles back and forth yet staying that side of the dirty track where it’s ok to hang out. The band will also be playing a handful of shows in May including a performance at Primaverafestival in Barcelona. 

After a successful tour of Europe in October last year supporting stand alone single ‘Black Saturday’, Girls Names began to hint at a possible directional shift away from their often misperceived surf and indie-pop roots into something more a kin to Krautrock and Psychedelia. Indeed, the band has expanded to a four-piece and has spent the last six months in virtual seclusion honing and developing a more progressive and expansive sound, feeding on the darker sides of Echo and The Bunnymen, Spacemen 3, The Birthday Party and David Bowie's Low. 

So here we are in 2012 and Girls Names are going to come out of hiding with a sophomore record and right now ‘A Troubled See’ is as solid an introduction to the forthcoming chapter as you’re going to get.

LYRICS
Oh walk on the water -- for me 
Just for me baby o.k. 
Oh, there’s always gon’ be pressure o.k. 

“Pressure” 

Nothing’s ever worse than work unnoticed 
Freelance now, yeah I guess you earned it 
Life is only wishing we could load it 
Level up you got to make a bonus 

Mystic staring at his phone for oneness 
Silver or black mirror, what’s the difference? 
Imitation always gets a bad rep man 
Witches Brew had me on on the first sip, man 

Smells like Autumn, smells like leaves 
You don’t know that you’re rust and not belong 
So much 
And then you get left alone 

Cloud hidden and my whereabouts unknown 
Cazedero got me wearing all camo 
Decked in Patagonia head to toe 
Down for whatever, I think I let go 

No more shoes and socks, I only rock sandals 
I can’t tell if I’m hip or getting old 
I can’t hear you, maybe you could change your tone 
People tend to listen when they see your soul 

Oh walk on water -- for me 
Just for me baby 

Sometimes I think we are from the same place 
Now I don’t 
What just happened?

LYRICS
It’s always the same as always
It’s a game that we play, no one’s safe

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Does sex even sell any more?
I feel like I’ve seen it all
Or maybe I’m just old
Or maybe I’m just bored

Maximize all the pleasure
Even with all this weather
Nothing can make it better
Maximize all the pleasure

Cuz this world makes a lot of noise for me 
Makes it hard for me to hear what I’m thinking 
Sometimes I don’t understand what I say 
So it’s fine if you gotta get away

Melkbelly - LCR

I recorded this mix in 2018 for the Her Damit festival and titled it the Mystery of the Motherbeat. I was hungry to tour Europe for the first time and agreed to do a mix and play the festival on a shoestring budget. Her Damit went into bankruptcy later that year, failing to pay artists and others for their work.  They also let their Soundcloud account expire, losing all the mixes they commissioned for the series. 

I am re-releasing this mix under its original name. Its real name. It is one of my deepest mixes. It is filled with the love and hope for the future that I put into it. It was recorded a week before I went to visit Maya and Brooke for the first time in March of 2018, exactly two years ago. That visit would change my life.

Rituals of Mine - Come Around Me (Baltra Remix)

It's two years since Honey! When I joined Robyn on tour in 2019, I'd make mixes overnight and try them in sets - there are a lot of them, Honey vs Kenlou, Honey vs Pépé Bradock, That's Alright (Honey), She's Got Her Own Thing She's From Sweden, This is Robyn Speaking.... but the one which seemed to make the most sense, like it was a blessing from the gods of music, was 'Chic It Immediately'. I remember having this brain itch that the bassline in "French Kiss" reminded me of something, and it turns out it was Bernard Edwards' bassline from "I Want Your Love". 

It's been teased by Robyn on NTS, (which was then ripped and used at a JW Anderson show), and played every night by me on the Robyn tour. We're happy to share it here.
Happy Anniversary Honey ❤
