Arrows of Eros - Golden Silvers

Thursday, November 5, 2009

I'd like to thank CRPitt for introducing me to the Golden Silvers several months ago. While some of the songs on "True Romance" languish a bit more mellow than I'm wont to enjoy, you can find enough bouncy, synth-heavy, well-crafted songs to make the album well worth owning. Were I to nominate the top three songs on the album it would be the title track, True romance, subtitled True No. 9 Blues, the slightly mournful but ever-so-fun Magic Touch, and this song, Arrows of Eros, which was the first song I hear from them. The band is a combination of 80s sensibilities, a little doo wop, and a dash of indie style. If Elton John were to get a massive dose of up-to-the-minute sound, he'd be a part of Golden Silvers. That somehow doesn't sound as appealing as it should, but enjoy the song anyway and check out "True Romance" if you like this one. Thanks, Claire!
