The Golden Filter

This email landed in the inbox this morning from The Golden Filter:

“We’re super new. and somewhat secretive…”

I’m kinda over the market-your-band-as-a-mystery formula — hey it worked well for Fake Blood and Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya, but I dunno… So I almost hit delete but gave the track a second and thank god. Golden Filter is an appropriate name because it sounds like the song has gone through a golden filter once or twice:

The Golden Filter – “Solid Gold”

Interested in hearing more from these guys. More interested in the secret not being kept. The vox sound familiar, no? Guesses in the comments.

9. I read on jacuzzikillers.com that they are from NYC…so that pretty much limits it since all my guesses were UK or AUS based artists…the sound quality is just too good to be some new group though…

37. hot sound! takes me back to the 80’s but more refined, slightly reminiscent of Blondie?
