Girls Names to Release 'Arms Around A Vision' in October

Girls Names are back with a new album this year which will be out in October. The album will be entitled 'Arms Around A Vision' and it will be their third studio album and a follow up to their brilliant 'New Life' album from 2013. 'Arms Around a Vision' is expected to be more widescreen and  also more direct and aggressive. Conceptually, the album acts as a love letter to European elegance – Italian futurism, Russian constructivism, Germany’s Zero Group and both Neubaten and Bowie’s Berlin. (from the Press Release). The album is set for release on October 2nd on Tough Love. "Reticence" is the first track out of 12 which was premiered on Quietus. 

WAW: Girls Names - Hypnotic Regression

If you just so happened to miss out on the latest and greatest offering from Girls Names, here's your chance. The New Life, released back in February, is the Belfast quartets second LP and is packed full of melodic guitar-pop / post-punk goodness. Giving a nod to the 80's in the form of  Echo & The Bunnymen, hints of Joy Division, and early tunes by The Cure but instilling their own personal touch. It must be said that it's surely one of my personal favorites of 2013...so far. The album's first official video for the track "Hypnotic Regression" is a prime example. See and hear for yourself!
