Golden Ages
Tell the synthesiser to take a hike and those fancy pedals to hush down; what makes Golden Ages 'Be Cool' are the pounding drums. Junk yard heavy, they tear through the centre of this glitchy one man electronica like no fiddly sample can. Taking as much from the Tropicália influenced Tanlines or the gothic tinged warblings of Tearist as the Memory Tapes series, the Philly man has piled a treasure trove of sounds into just a couple of tracks.
Set like a jewel into an increasingly familiar glitz and shine of tearaway loops and found sounds, they're a bold step back to the time when big acoustics mattered but still keep it very 2010.
Golden Ages released a debut LP soon. It's called 'Tradition' and will be itunes available in early February.
