Florida’s premier Nu Emocore act, GILT, has just announced their forthcoming new record, I Saw Myself In The Black Screen, due out June 26, via Smartpunk Records. After releasing “Seattle Day 2” in March, the group has revealed another taste of the LP with “How Do You Kill An Angel, Barry?”
Vocalist and guitarist Tyler Fieldhouse says, “Taking its name from cult-classic film Dogma, where protagonist Bethany doesn’t realize she’s talking to the fallen angel she was sent to stop from destroying God, ‘Barry’ is a song of rebellion, about biting the hand that feeds.”
Fieldhouse adds, “Is God jealous of free will, even if we exercise it to hurt or kill ourselves? Underneath the Deftones-inspired drifty shoegaze vocals is a constantly noodling guitar and busy drumwork meant to evoke the incessant digital information feed in Serial Experiments Lain (the sound clip from the beginning), an anime, which explores similarly bleak themes of social isolation, divinity, and suicide.”
