Spooky Obsessions

Nefarious

(Lyrics)
      I feel the same again, my heart it goes into the wind. don’t know a thing you said, but i feel alright. same clothes, another day, try to dress another way for you, is this a parody i don’t feel alright. drive down the interstate, smoke in the engine flashing light , no car but thats okay, i could use a walk. now I’m a walking man, walking without a plan again, look out across the land, what a pretty sight.
 
these days won’t go, i feel like talkin slow, you talk too fast, no conversations last.
these days won’t go, i feel like getting close, then you’ll see, the light inside of me. 

the week it feels so long, lay down in someone else’s lawn, 20s the life for me, i don’t wanna work. don’t wanna get grey hair, don’t want an office chair no way, ill find another plan they can slap my hand, I’m on the run again, hang out with all my friends oh yeah, I’m not a walking man, now I’m on the run. running to you and them, all the ones who tried to hold my hand, don’t try to slow me down, will someone pick me up.

It stands to reason that many vital albums come critically close to never being made. The eight-track upshot of doubt, upheaval and financial strain, Stains on Silence by Girls Names is one such release.

Following 2015’s blitzing Arms Around a Vision, and the parting of drummer Gib Cassidy just over a year later, the Belfast band suddenly found themselves facing down a looming void. “There was a finished – and then aborted – mix of the album, which was shelved for six months,” reveals Girls Names frontman Cathal Cully. “We then took a break from all music and went back to full-time work. We chilled out from the stress of rushing the record and not being happy with it, as well as being skint with no impending touring on the cards and constantly having to worry about rent.”

The stumbling blocks that proved a strain became the album’s defining breakthrough. Recorded in various locations including Belfast’s Start Together Studio with Ben McAuley, Cully’s home and the band’s practice space, spontaneous creation, cut-up techniques and self-editing took centre-stage for the first time. "We started tearing the material apart and rebuilding, re-editing and re-recording different parts in my home in early Autumn last year,” says Cully. “When we got them to a place we were happier with we went back into Start Together Studio with Ben McAuley to finalise the mixes to what they are now."

Where AAAV proved a brazen statement of intent, Stains on Silence bounds forth as its feature-length comedown. What could have seen the band buckle became an opportunity for approaching things tabula rasa. During its two-year transmutation, Cully, bassist Claire Miskimmin and guitarist Philip Quinn had a single aim for their fourth album: to make an old-fashioned record clocking in around 30 to 35 minutes in length that made the listener reach straight for repeat. From the Bang Bang bar-summoning swoon of opener '25’ and the submerged disco doom of ‘Haus Proud’ to the rapt, dub-leaning ‘Fragments of a Portrait’, Girls Names have excelled in their goal by forging an LP of synchronous nuance and defiance.

Marked by the presence of drum machines and programming throughout, these eight masterfully-woven tales are once again commandeered by founder Cully, whose words, understated yet defiant, mine purpose and meaning from the mire ("I want to bathe again, I want to swim again / In a pool of twisting bodies, blackened gold." — ‘25’). But while Stains on Silence came critically close to never being made, having lived with it, reconfigured it, and guided its metamorphosis from flickers of inspiration and half-formed schemes, it’s both a statement of pure perseverance, and a head-on confrontation with ambivalence that couldn’t be more assured.

Chad VanGaalen - Friendly Aliens

Keith and I completed a cover of Curve's song "Horror Head". Curve was one of my favorite bands as a teenager, and Keith, who I introduced their music to several years ago, agrees with me that this is one of their best songs. I can't think of any other female fronted band that has impressed and inspired me so much. 

LYRICS BY TONI HALLIDAY:
"Fireworks, red and green I can see what they sing, but you are away / box you all in You always smile / Boxing ring / box him in the back of mules / with black almost You can really see, from the inside Across the void There's horror in my head When the blanket is gone From the throne in my castle Where I see the sun from In the comfort of this room The challenge died Remember you and me We laughed 'til we cried"

don't think twice, close your eyes
and break her fall again
feel the words, out of her lips
as she walks out in the rain

hear for once, the way it was
it collides with us
full of fire, in an escape
the fading light, and the waves that break

don't you want to tame her
don't you want to tame her

your soft lips in mine
an island of stars, in the shining light
i get lost in it all the time

the distance in the dark
the places in between us
dreamless as a ghost
still as the air that moves through us

don't you want to tame her
don't you want to tame her
