Editor's review
Even by the lax standards of the true-love ditty, the alt-country chanteuse's "Don't Ever Change" is one heck of an accepting track, arguing against showers and admitting that it might not even like its beau. It's Pink Nasty in a nutshell: acerbic but endearing, a sassy country lass.
Biography
Pink Nasty is more than just another standard-fare singer-songwriter in this dense indie landscape. In addition to her offbeat, whimsical demeanor and her brother being the unassumingly filthy rapper Black Nasty, Pink Nasty's brand of twangy Americana contains more than enough ingenious recklessness to catapult Mold The Gold above the tired-and-true comfort of the general country-rock mindset. While ballads like "Hot Pink House" have a grandiose undercurrent of classic tragedy at work, "Take It Back" is a downright joyous power-pop anthem. The legendary Will Oldham even makes an appearance on the Pitchfork approved "Don't Ever Change," the bizarro world version of Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra doing their thing for our generation. Mold The Gold is much brighter than the recent crop of backwoods navelgazers and Pink Nasty lets her spirited songs ring as a welcome change of pace.
