Girl In The Year Above sign to Transgressive Records and share defiant new single ‘Wet Paint’

Girl In The Year Above have signed to Transgressive Records and shared their first single for the label, ‘Wet Paint’ – listen below. The Irish/Cornish band announced their deal with Transgressive yesterday (September 21), following a breakthrough year that has seen them catch attention with a string of singles and celebrated live shows. Today (September 22), they have followed the news with ‘Wet Paint’, a bright, melodic track that combines Celtic influences with driving piano, hooky guitar and frontwoman Jennifer Ball’s provocative vocals. The band have said: “Through writing the lyrics of ‘Wet Paint’ together – Jen and Jeanie soon realised how painfully relatable this topic is, yet so rarely talked about. The song’s story starts lightly to draw the listener in until you gradually realise it is about consent. With a heavy topic it was important to us that the track still felt bright and powerful.” “We hope it mimics the likeness of anyone who can relate to the track – in the sense that you are bright and powerful no matter what. We would love for this track to bring joy and defiance, feel free to shout/dance/laugh/weep etc.” Check out the Dylan Friese-Greene-directed video here: T...
