Golden Silvers

The trio of Gwylim Gold, Ben Moorhouse, and Alexis Nunez formed the funky new-wave indie rock group Golden Silvers back in 2007.  They're signed under the successful British independent label XL Recordings, who manage Adele and Vampire Weekend to name a few.  They gained recognition after winning Glastonbury's New Talent competition in 2008 and have opened for some bigger acts across Britain.  Without using guitars, the group relies heavily on vocal harmonies, catchy bass, and blaring keyboards.  The result is an awesome fusion of retro indie goodness.  


I can't stop listening to their single "Wings of Eros," which came out a couple of years ago.  You wouldn't think indie dance rock and Greek mythology would mix, but they really make it work.  As always, I dig their retro style and this groovy sound.




For further listening pleasure check out "Please Venus" and "True Romance."
