Little Gold – “Rear House”

2020’s full of surprises and this little gem from previously thought defunct Athens band Little Gold is certainly one of them. With Christian DeRoeck (Woods, Meneguar, Shepherds) and the band back at it, this finds them in an introspective mood, kicking at the alt-country crossroads that so many of his peers seem to be finding around the same time. The first cut, “Rear House,” seems like an allusion to his time with the NY crowd, sharing a name with the studio that many in the Woodsist orbit found themselves calling home. With a Jayhawks saunter, the song hits a nice whiskey burn that’s built on bar band looseness and some guitar bite that mows down the melancholy and tears away with the windows locked low. Its easy to see how this was a set of songs that spurred him to get the band outta hock and back to the studio. The new LP lands on Sophomore Lounge November 20th.
