Girls Names streaming new Slumberland album, playing NYC before SXSW

by Bill Pearis

As mentioned, Belfast’s Girls Names‘ new album, The New Life, is out March 12 via Slumberland. They owe a sonic kinship to their labelmates Crystal Stilts and the new album has a clear, ringing sound — not to mention some excellent basslines — and you can stream the whole album below.

The band are making their way across the Atlantic next month for the music swap meet known as SXSW and on their way there they’ll stop in NYC for at Cameo on March 10. They’ll play with Lazyeyes and the very Felt-ish Sapphire Mansions. Tickets are on sale now. It seems to be their only non-SXSW date over here, but their current tour schedule is below.
