I realize it’s been a while. And I do apologize. I went to New York to visit a friend and there are pictures and events that must be covered but right now I’m in the midst of the fieriest cleaning frenzy this side of the Mississippi. So here’s some music to check out. It simply will have to do.
Golden Silvers:
A band from London signed to independent record label XL. The line-up consists of vocalist and keyboardist Gwilym Gold, Ben Moorhouse on bass guitar, and Robden Alexis Nunez on drums.
By the way, how much do you love the name Gwilym? Yeah, me too.
Anyway, their debut album “True Romance” came out in April of 2009 and it makes me feel warm inside. The best way I can describe their sound (especially in the track Arrows of Eros) is a marriage between the bands of The Clash and Cut Copy. If you don’t agree, then you don’t know those bands. It’s actually very very Clash-esque, which is righteous because they happen to be one of my favorite bands. It works. You can dance to it, it’s not terribly deep, but it could make you happy on a lonesome day. Yay Go Golden Silvers.
Gold Silvers like The Clash? Spot on, it’s all in the drums.
This body of work is a gem. Consider yourself linqued.
