Golden Animals Release New LP

GOLDEN ANIMALS RELEASE HEAR EYE GO THIS WEEK

STREAMING ALBUM VIA CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

 

"Kicking up dust and a noise typically made from groups of 4 or more; your body moves to Golden Animals' wild tumbleweed twists and turnpike u-turns" - Impose

Brooklyn duo Golden Animals are releasing their sophomore album Hear Eye Go this week on Vinyl, CD, Cassette and Digital formats. Released via The Reverberation Appreciation Society - the label arm of Austin Psych Fest - Hear Eye Go is the follow-up to their 2008 debut Free Your Mind and Win a Pony.  In conjunction with the release, Hear Eye Go premiered in full via Consequence of Sound, praising the album as "most impressive because Eisner's guitar and Beecroft's kit are the only instruments heard... With little more than their own prowess and resolve, Golden Animals capture all their musical and locational influences in succinct bursts of haunting psych-rock."Hear Eye Go is available for streaming/embed in its entirety HERE.

Dividing their time between the extremes of Brooklyn and the California desert since their 2006 inception, longtime friends Tommy Eisner (vocals/guitar) and Linda Beecroft (drums/backing vocals) construct tales of love, friendship and seclusion while keeping their sound simultaneously energetic and meditative. They view their two home bases as complementary influences, shaping their sound equally but very differently.

Golden Animals' commitment to the fruits of their labor is impressive-the band recorded an entire LP in a California cabin, only to scrap it upon finding that limitations on their recording process diminished the power of the tracks. That rigid commitment to their work is readily apparent throughout Hear Eye Go's 10 tracks--they're exactly what they need to be, full of rock and roll energy and devoid of filler.

Despite its full-bodied sound, no bass guitars or organs were used in the record's creation-it's all drums and guitar. Hear Eye Go was recorded by Matt Boynton (MGMT, Kurt Vile) at Vacation Island Recordings, and by the band themselves at their own studio. Joe LaPorta (Foo Fighters, Beach House) mastered the album at The Lodge.
