Goldenrod brings the classic early 70s dance floor bump and Herbie Hancocks retro Rockit electronics into a Beck-inspired post-millennium. Swirling vocals, thick synthbass, analog keyboards, and heavy breakbeats combine for an undeniably dynamic live show that gives you a lil bit everything from dancehall dark wave to gut wrenching soul. The band's acclaimed debut release, Paintings for Prophets, spent several months on CMJs Top 100 and propelled the band on a whirlwind summer and fall tour culminating in a headlining spot at the 2010 Terrapin Hill Music Festival. Paintings for Prophets received heavy airplay on radio stations throughout America and Canada, including heavy-hitters like KCRW, KUCI, 3WK, KEXP, AND KXLU. 2011 finds Goldenrod gearing up for their summer festival tour and in the studio at Saint Claire Recording Company putting the finishing touches on their next full length release scheduled for the fall.
"Goldenrod sounds like the love child of Sly Stone & The Chemical Brothers."
- Garth Trinidad, KCRW
