biographical info
From Kraut grooves to ritualistic incantations,
minimalist repetitions to pop songwriting, Vancouver trio No Gold is a compelling combination of
flavors. With special nuance and attention, in both performance and
recording, No Gold create as much space for
experimentation as for pure dance-ability.
The band began as an attempt to sweat out toxins in the crowded illegal basement
venues of Vancouver with bright, wide and fast pop music. During this time
they released a 7" with Vancouver boutique label The Broadway to Boundary.
Experiments
in electronic based sets as part of a series of renegade outdoor shows
(organized by spiritual band brothers Basketball), has led to a
collision of samples and synth pads with bass, guitar, and drums
informed by Can, Arthur Russell, Terry Riley & Larry Heard.
Recorded in their Chinatown studio in the dead of summer, their
Self-Titled debut will be released on Unfamiliar records in February of
2011.
