Our Take

CHAMPS' latest album, "Down Like Gold," is a shimmering gem in the indie-folk landscape that glistens with talent and charm. The Hampshire-based duo, comprised of brothers Michael and David Champion, have crafted an album that is equal parts introspective and infectious, drawing listeners in with their captivating harmonies and lush instrumentation.

From the mesmerizing opener "Desire" to the hauntingly beautiful title track "Down Like Gold," CHAMPS exhibit a knack for crafting melodies that stick with you long after the record has ended. The duo's songwriting is both contemplative and catchy, with lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

Tracks like "Vamala" and "Sophia" showcase the band's ability to weave together intricate guitar riffs and ethereal harmonies, creating a sound that is both intimate and expansive. CHAMPS' music is accompanied by subtle electronic flourishes that add an extra layer of depth to their already rich sound.

"Down Like Gold" is a testament to CHAMPS' growth as musicians and songwriters, and a testament to the power of sibling harmony. With this album, the duo has solidified their place as one of the most exciting acts in the UK indie-folk scene. So grab your headphones, sink back into your favourite armchair, and let CHAMPS' music wash over you like a warm wave of gold.
