Irish four-piece Gilla Band have announced the release of their third album, Most Normal, which will be out on October 7 via Rough Trade. They have also shared an animated video for the album’s lead single, “Eight Fivers.” View the Mortis Studio-directed video below, along with the album’s tracklist/cover art and a full list of the band’s upcoming tour dates.

In a press release, band vocalist Dara Kiely states in a press release: “‘Eight Fivers’ is about being out of touch with modern circumstances while feeling socially limited. Never fitting in and kind of proud of it. Stuck with what I have and happy for it. Being grateful and not fashionable, self-conscious and too aware of what is lacking. Accepting that jealousy has played a big role in my life but trying not to feed into it.”

Most Normal was self-produced, and was recorded and mixed by the band’s bassist, Daniel Fox. Their previous album, The Talkies, came out in 2019 via Rough Trade.
