I may be a few months behind some of the hipper than thou US blogs on this one, but ever since the delicious Love Shack, Baby brought them to my attention with Violet Eyes, My Gold Mask (Bandcamp | MySpace | Twitter) have found their way onto far too many of my personal playlists and yet some how I have been neglecting them on here. Well time to set the record straight…
Gretta Rochelle’s vocal slide between soaring and screeching, with and effortless cool that reminds me a little of Blondie in their heyday. But behind her, Jack Armando brings in the sometimes sinister but always provocative guitar, which along with some some simple, thudding drums makes the sound whole.
They’ve got a new EP called A Thousand Voices which will be the best buy you make this month. Seriously.
My Gold Mask – Violet Eyes
My Gold Mask – Your Coo Ka Choo
My Gold Mask – Bitches
this duo has thoroughly dominated my daily rotation for the last few weeks. so good.
So good indeed – I just wish they’d make an outing over the pond. I’ve heard the live show is something special. You seen them?
:) xoxo!
