Most Normal is like little you’ve heard before, a kaleidoscopic spectrum of noise put in service of broken pop songs, FX-strafed Avant-punk rollercoaster rides and passages of futurist dancefloor nihilism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCovid lockdown robbed Gilla Band of any opportunity to try the new material out live, but the pandemic also incinerated any idea of a deadline for the new album. They were free to tinker at leisure, to rewrite and restructure and reinvent tracks they’d cut – to, as drummer Adam Faulkner puts it, “pull things apart and be like, ‘Let’s try this. We could try out every wild idea.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe group also fell under the spell of modern hip-hop, “where there’s really heavy-handed production and they’re messing with the track the whole time,” says Fox. “That felt like a fun route to go down, it was a definite influence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost Normal opens with an absolute industrial-noise banger that sounds like a manic house-party throbbing through the walls of the next room as a downed jetliner brings death from above. What follows is unpredictable, leading the listener through a sonic house of mirrors, where the unexpected awaits around every corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe common thread holding Most Normal’s ambitious Avant-pop shapes together is frontman Dara Kiely. Throughout, he’s an antic, antagonistic presence, barking wild, hilarious, unsettling spiels, babbling about smearing fish with lubricant or dressing up in bin-liners or having to wear hand-me-down boot-cut jeans (“It was a big, shameful thing, growing up, not being able to afford the look I wanted and having to wear all my brother’s old clothes”, says Kiely).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nRough Trade\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nAlternative  LP\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Gum\u003cbr\u003e\nEight Fivers\u003cbr\u003e\nBackwash\u003cbr\u003e\nGushie\u003cbr\u003e\nBin Liner Fashion\u003cbr\u003e\nCapgras\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Weirds\u003cbr\u003e\nI Was Away\u003cbr\u003e\nAlmost Soon\u003cbr\u003e\nRed Polo Neck\u003cbr\u003e\nPratfall\u003cbr\u003e\nPost Ryan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHYTHM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50010794787009,"sku":"RT0358LPE","price":29.98,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/417356-Product-0-I-638917019256911400.jpg?v=1771978446","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/most-normal-blue-vinyl-by-gilla-band","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
