After dropping their first new song<\/a> in three years in May, Gilla Band<\/a> have confirmed there\u2019s more where that came from. The Dublin band of Dara Kiely, Alan Duggan Borges, Daniel Fox, and Adam Faulkner have a new album, Pugnello<\/em>, out on Rough Trade<\/a> on September 25. Today, they also shared a new track, \u201cPlaceholder,\u201d alongside a dreamlike, color-saturated music video directed by Cuan Roche. Check it out below.<\/p>\n Pugnello<\/em> is entirely produced by the quartet, and mixed by Fox. In a press statement, Kiely noted that \u201cPlaceholder\u201d is a reflection on his childhood creature comforts, from Big Brother<\/em> to the Power Rangers. (\u201cI remember I was at some sort of Christian summer camp when I was about six and was asked what I want to be when I grow up. I said \u2018a Power Ranger,\u2019\u201d Kiely says. \u201cI was laughed at and was told the shocking truth that they didn\u2019t exist and it is not a profession worth pursuing. I\u2019ve never forgiven them for that.\u201d)<\/p>\n Gilla Band released their last album, Most Normal<\/em><\/a>, in 2022. They\u2019ve stayed relatively under the radar since then, save for the 2023 loosie \u201cSports Day<\/a>.\u201d The group will support Pugnello<\/em> starting this fall and all the way through 2027 on a North American and European tour.<\/p>\n Read more about Most Normal<\/em> in The 38 Best Rock Albums of 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pugnello<\/strong><\/em>:
