Track Of The Day: Bugeye – ‘I’m Not The One’

Following the powerful disco-punk force of last single ‘Wake Up’, GIHE faves Bugeye are back with a brand new infectious offering. Having blown us away with their frenzied energy and impeccable beats live at The Finsbury, the Croydon trio return to wow our ears once more with new single ‘I’m Not The One’.

Filled with whirring hooks and the impassioned swooning vocals of front-woman Angela Martin, ‘I’m Not The One’ oozes shades of the catchy energy of Blondie, creating a sweeping slice of anthemic dark pop. Without losing any of the band’s vibrant, indie-disco zest, it also adds a more intimate and emotive touch to Bugeye’s trademark uplifting sound…

Of the track, Martin explains:

“… the song revisits, on a more personal note, taking care of my Mother in her final weeks of life in 2013 where diary notes that later influence the song state; I’m not the one that saves the day, I’m not the smart one that thinks of a cure, but maybe tonight I’ll think of something to ease the coming days to give you peace.”

 

‘I’m Not The One’ is out 13th April via Marwoo Records.

Track Of The Day: Girls Names – ’25’

Having just announced the release of their fourth album, Belfast’s Girls Names make a welcome return after a hiatus from music following 2015’s Arms Around A Vision. Recorded in various locations, including Belfast’s esteemed Start Together Studio, Stains Of Silence looks set to be a defiant, and immersive, come back for the band.

Taken from the album, new single ’25’ is a brooding, shoegaze-reminiscent sonic delight. Filled with sweeping, reverb strewn layers of synth-heavy sound and the dark, swooning vocals of Cathal Cully, it oozes a twinkling, ethereal haze alongside eerie undertones. An intensely captivating offering, it’ll have you hooked on first listen, and desperate to hear the album in full.

Stains On Silence, the fourth LP from Girls Names, is out 15th June via Tough Love Records.
