2009 debut release. Produced by producer wunderkind Lexxx (Crystal Castles, Esser), True Romance is a triumphant album by a truly modern band who comprise of keyboardist/lead vocalist Gwilym Gold, bassist Ben Moorhouse and drummer Alexis Nunez (both of whom sing backing vocals). It's a superbly stylish record expressed in a dazzling collaboration of colors, eras and styles. Guitar-free, Psychedelic and literate, Golden Silvers deal in huge, unabashed melodies, inspirational songwriting and dashing, groove-laden Pop. Their sound is as much influenced by the mix of Daft Punk, Beach Boys and giddy Indie-Electro mash-ups they heard on the dance floor at Trash, as it is by the Dr. Dre and Marvin Gaye tunes they danced to at Soul and Hip Hop clubs or the Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Prince and Hendrix albums they were weaned on. 10 tracks. XL.
This has got to be one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Every track has got a distinctive mood and feel to it and you can tell they've put a lot of effort into making a really solid and well produced debut album.

People tend to compare Golden Silvers to many different bands from the 80's, but they never really struck me as 80's. I honestly feel like they have created a new genre... or managed to capture a style of music that has always existed, but never did. It's really hard to explain... almost as if the album has come from Another Universe, LOL.
My favorite songs on the album thus far are Arrows of Eros, Magic Touch, and Fade to Black. Definitely recommend this!
I had only heard one song from this album "true romance"....... its a good varied album, though more of a grower.......Something a little different than the norm. A bit like and English version of Vampire Weekend........
