Eight Fivers (7")

"Eight Fivers" announces itself in that typical Gilla Band way where the lyrics often feel abstracted from the music. Dara's voice is two opposing forces at once: it's the melodic cry yearning and dancing over the driving beat. In some ways it's the album's most memorable track for how instant it sounds and simple it feels, however, its idiosyncratic enough to create its own peculiar feel.
