Aunt Sis started as the bedroom recording project of Justin Morris, utilizing live vocal looping and melodic guitar progressions to imply something larger. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Aunt Sis now continues this aesthetic as an amplified three piece, with fellow Bleeding Gold members Will Flaugher of Petey, and Justin Hrabovsky of The Sweets. Below you will find a new song from the band in preparation for a full EP later this year.

Posted in Band Update, Music with tags BandCamp, BG078, BGR, Field Trips, La Mesa, San Diego, Space Heat on June 8, 2014 by bleedinggoldSpace Heat’s dreamy take on indie (night)pop is filled with way-old honey and smoke and things you forgot that you forgot until you remembered them. Feelings not all that then, and not all that now… This is not what you listen to sprawled out on the beach, bathed in sun and salt. This is what you listen to driving past the endlessly black shape of the ocean in the night, down some nameless freeway toward something new. What you listen to to keep warm.

Where is Sutja from and why does he make music?
-
Why is the new album titled “Cult & Truth”?
-
You often tweet or post cryptic yet uplifting quotes (ex: “Please Smile”, “No War” or “If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you are about to do today?”). Can you explain your outlook on life?
-
The video for “El Magico (feat AFFKT)” has been very successful. Can you explain the story behind the video?
- What is next for Sutja?

BG076 | Night Drippers
Posted in Band Update, Music with tags BandCamp, BG076, BGR, CD, France, Os Drongos on April 20, 2014 by bleedinggold
Less than five days to record and a little bit more than thirteen months to reach the light of an ear. That is a good example to explain what a night dripper is. An agent who can change you. Something that set you, the problems you need to become the person you are. You just decide to see them or not. But Night Drippers are everywhere. They can be everything, even you.
What you could hear on this album: highly-electric residual shadows passing through worlds made of different tones. The sounds here are influenced by such artists and philosophers as Pollock or Héraclite, invoking the great days of Diane.
Available on LIMITED EDITION Compact Disc and digitally at BandCamp and iTunes.

Moses Gold is the creative vision of Manchester’s Phill Young. Formed in 2013 after the dissolution of his previous project, the critically acclaimed Christian AIDS/Stay+, Young re-emerged with some of the most extraordinarily heart-rending and beautiful music that the city has ever heard. Working with producer Ben Pearson (Espher) the wounded baritone of Young’s voice glows against a sparkling electronic backdrop. Vivid and visceral, Young’s expression of loneliness and regret is littered with melancholy and tiny glimpses of hope. Confrontational, but more emotionally than physically, he’s been described as “Ian Curtis trapped in a 21st century nightmare.”
Debut single ‘Paradise Lost’ features a collaboration with former bandmate and friend London based producer Stay Positive (Black Butter, RAMP, OWSLA) Young who has previously spoken with unerring honesty about his long-term battle with depression, wants to create music people“can relate to and respond to. Not enough singers do that.” After leaving his previous band it was vital for Young to continue to make music to challenge himself and his audience. Enter Moses Gold, meaning “Prophet of Greed” whose début single ‘Paradise Lost’ is a huge statement of intent and the first step in achieving the ambitious goal Young has set himself “to write an album as beautiful as ‘Kid A’ or as honest as ‘Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’. ‘Paradise Lost’ is released March 10th on limited edition 12″ vinyl.

Hobbes says that ungoverned man would be constantly at war because of Competition, Diffidence and Glory.
