Watch the video for Black Gold from Welsh indie rock band HOMES.
Described by the brainchild behind the band Dylan Morgan as “Monday’s blues and Friday’s booze all mixed into one sentimental pint of coffee” Black Gold is a wonderfully wah-wah harmony over the bubbling riffs, with a jaunty and highly catchy tune underpinning the lyrics of resignation. There’s more than a little of The Futureheads and Super Furries filtering through this track.
Black Gold is released on 29 July on Outback Recordings.
You can find the band on Facebook and Twitter.
A Plea From Louder Than War
Louder Than War is run by a small but dedicated independent team, and we rely on the small amount of money we generate to keep the site running smoothly. Any money we do get is not lining the pockets of oligarchs or mad-cap billionaires dictating what our journalists are allowed to think and write, or hungry shareholders. We know times are tough, and we want to continue bringing you news on the most interesting releases, the latest gigs and anything else that tickles our fancy. We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
To us, music and culture are eveything, without them, our very souls shrivel and die. We do not charge artists for the exposure we give them and to many, what we do is absolutely vital. Subscribing to one of our paid tiers takes just a minute, and each sign-up makes a huge impact, helping to keep the flame of independent music burning! Please click the button below to help.
