The Golden Grass Sign to Listenable Records
Not for nothing, but it was five days ago I was wondering if The Golden Grass might have signed to a new label. I had no advance notice of their inking a deal to release their sophomore outing — no public title yet, but it seems a safe bet they have one picked out — and with their eyes once again turned toward Europe next year as they head over to take part in Freak Valley 2016 in Germany, they’ll do so with the backing of French imprint Listenable Records, also home to Mars Red Sky and Mos Generator, among others. Not bad company to keep, by any means.
They already announced the addition of new bassist Frank Caira (The Above) last week, and that they were recording with Jeff Berner at Galuminum Foil Productions after an extensive pre-production phase, but the Listenable news is new, as is the tentative “Spring 2016” release date.
To the PR wire:
THE GOLDEN GRASS: Brooklyn-Based Psychedelic Rock Trio Joins Listenable Records
Listenable Records is very pleased to welcome Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock trio THE GOLDEN GRASS to the label’s expanding ranks for the release of their sophomore full-length.
The follow-up to the band’s self-titled debut, issued last year on Svart Records, is being tracked by Jeff Berner at Galuminum Foil Productions and is due for a Spring unveiling.
THE GOLDEN GRASS is here to bring with them a classic feel-good heavy boogie vibe, drenched in soulful vocals, psychedelic flourishes, progressive arrangements and deep improvisational interludes. Influenced by the likes of such American rock legends as The James Gang, The Allman Brothers and Grand Funk Rainroad, the soulful British psych/mod of The Move, The Pretty Things and The Action, and the heavy umph of Budgie, Blue Cheer and Blackfoot, THE GOLDEN GRASS synthesizes their influences into a seamless, memorable, and high-energy performance that screams from the past but is a welcome and much needed presence in the now! Hard rock lives! Keep on grassin’!
With two European tours already under their belt, THE GOLDEN GRASS will return to Europe for their third time this May. The journey will include an appearance at the 2016 edition of Freak Valley Festival.
Further THE GOLDEN GRASS info to be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
