Dutch "post-everything" sextet, GOLD, have today confirmed details of their third full length album entitled Optimist. The LP will be released on February 24, 2017 via Ván Records.

After the artistic success of 2015's No Image - which united journalists, musicians, music lovers and even a pro-wrestler in its appraisal - GOLD returns with its successor. Together with producer Randall Dunn (a.o. Sunn O))), Earth, Ash Borer, Marissa Nadler), GOLD have put their angular drive, their blackened guitar textures, and the composed yet vulnerable vocal delivery of Milena Eva in an even broader context. GOLD have created an almost unlimited space for their unique unity of beauty and cruelty to crush and confuse even more.

Within her lyrics Milena Eva lays bare her insecurities, internal struggles and self-doubt, as a means to reach out and connect. To ultimately inspire acceptance and love of the self, of the known and of the alien. To resist the apathy as expressed in the album's first lyric - 'Binge-watching the world collapse' - and to include.

Thomas Sciarone comments: “Our activism and socio-criticism is strongly rooted in self-reflection and improving our selves. We do not only intend to break down walls and bridge gaps between scenes and genres, but also - more importantly - between people. And if it’s necessary to call out those who want to stand between us, we artistically will. It’s no coincidence that the last shot of the last video we took from No Image shows an awkwardly confident Donald Trump.”

With their nonconformist outsider approach, which the New York Times strikingly defined as "serenely intense... near-metal", GOLD has managed to find a previously uninhabited spot that is truly their own. To achieve this in the heart of such a densely populated musical landscape, rather than at its outskirts, is the exciting result of intense years of performing and self-reflection.

Optimist is an adventurous confirmation of GOLD’s reputation as an enthralling band, on stage and on record.

Mal abgesehen davon, dass die Band seit ihrer letzten Platte aus meiner Sicht etwas bemüht "anders" ist (v.a. Videos, Plattencover, Smileys, das ganze Image bzw. "No Image"), finde ich die richtig gut und spannend.

Das neue Cover gefällt auch. Ist mal wieder irgendwie ... anders.
 
Ich scheine irgendwie keine Sensoren für die Band zu haben. Ich mochte das Debüt und fand die zweite absolut grauenhaft. Wahrscheinlich verstehe ich sie einfach nicht :hmmja:

Tja, bei mir ist es genau umgekehrt - finde, die haben sich von einer ganz netten Hard Rock-Band zu einer richtig spannenden, eigenständigen Geschichte entwickelt. Das Konzert in Winterthur ist im Kalender eingetragen! :)
 
Teurer Monat, Dool, die Virus LP-Compilation und Gold... Ich hatte die ja auch als nicht so spannend abgestempelt, aber die neuen Songs klingen richtig gut!
