On their upcoming LP The New Life, Northern Ireland's Girls Names are moving past the grey-hued ramshackle pop of their 2011 debut Dead to Me-- says frontman Cathal Cully, in a press release, "Dead to Me literally was dead to us by the time it was committed to wax." New Life, meanwhile, goes for a darker sprawl with bits of shadowy psychedelia, as shown on "Pittura Infamante", its title referencing the Italian Renaissance genre of defamatory painting.
