biographical info
Golden Death Music combines delicate, organic
psychedelia with rich textural arrangements to
form intensely beautiful songs, raising the
listener above the mundane. It is the solo project of Michael Ramey, who describes the sound as
“Like a mere silhouette of the endless dream
that is The Great Impending Sound.”
About the most recent album, Epherema Blues:
As an album Ephemera Blues works on multiple
levels. On the surface, the immaculate
production and deep psychedelia are
reminiscent of early Pink Floyd or Hood. When
you dig deeper, the record becomes an invitation
to a transcendental experience; a call for the
listener to realize the fleeting nature of all of our
lives and the importance of a true awareness to
the moment. Ephemera Blues is the perfect
soundtrack for your moments of existential
despair.
