Our Take

Whoever said indie rock was dead clearly hasn't listened to Gold Connections' latest album, "Popular Fiction." This blend of jangly guitars, introspective lyrics, and infectious hooks is a refreshing breath of fresh air in a music landscape oversaturated with cookie-cutter pop hits. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you'll find yourself tapping your foot and nodding along, unable to resist the album's undeniable charm.

Lead singer Will Marsh's dreamy vocals soar over the shimmering instrumentation, creating a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Tracks like "Stick Figures" and "Bad Intentions" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy, anthemic choruses that will be stuck in your head for days. And let's not forget the groovy basslines and tight drumming that hold it all together, adding a funky edge to the mix.

But what truly sets "Popular Fiction" apart is its lyrical depth and emotional honesty. Marsh delves into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a rawness that is both relatable and poignant. Whether you're blasting this album in your car on a road trip or chilling at home with a glass of wine, Gold Connections' "Popular Fiction" is the perfect soundtrack to your life. So do yourself a favour and give it a listen - you won't be disappointed.
