Editor's review
Imagine an even more abstract Radiohead and you come close to the creative musical world of Goldroom. A mix of melancholic male vocals, jangly guitars, and a variety of electronic textures--from ambient to breakbeat--make this U.K. group one to check out.
Biography
"This British foursome creates rich sonic landscapes, each as unique as a snowflake.
"Put on those headphones, close your eyes, and let them transport you to some faraway place."
Speed of Dark
"Disenchanted with dogma that's high on hype and short on substance? Not up for neon, instead reaching for darker shades of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails? Fancy foreboding funk, bleak beauty and a whole other world of goodness? Take a shine to the brilliance of goldroom.
"Skillfully weaving together a personal sound which is heavyweight yet interspersed with sublime moments of light relief."
Lee Hodkinson, The Blue Light District
Acrid smoke hung heavy in the air when the door crashed open and the Bear entered. He was followed only by a Bard with a curious gait and a heavenly tone.
They were looking for fresh meat!
As locals dived at windows and darted under tables, only the Newcomers were left, frozen in the beasts icy stare.
You will follow us to the Shed, said the Bear in a voice made rich with synth and drum and the Bard unleashed his Bees.
The Newcomers were entranced and they went to the Shed.
It was cold and musty but they spoke of strange lands and hideous happenings and as the Bard began to sing and the Bear began to play the Newcomers fell deep into oblivion and the room turned to gold.
Using a forgotten magik they fused their knowledge of wondrous sounds and cosmic oddities to weave melodies of madness and night.
When the creatures emerged the Newcomers were transformed and the sound was fuller and richer and they called it goldroom.
Finally after years of searching goldroom are:
Mr Joe Bond, Mr Gareth Price, Mr Dan Murdoch and Mr Ross Saunders.
