Black Gold
Breakdown

Red Bull

WE SAY

Black Gold is Brooklyn-based duo Eric Ronick and Than Luu. Their album Rush comes out next month, just after their recent 10 date tour of the UK supporting Neko Case. While the album covers many styles (MOR, synth-pop and majestic rock), the songwriting is consistently good throughout. We love the chorus melodies on this single and album opener Detroit. A very strong debut ahead of more UK touring later this year. JF. Video.
