I’m in Love with This Golden Suits Tune

October 5, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve really given my attention to great pop songs and great songwriting. I mean, what’s wrong with totally immersing yourself in a great song, like this Golden Suits tune below. There are elements that remind me of the heavier side of indie-folk (think Bazaan amped up), but the deep tonal quality of the vocals also leans a little bit towards the hook-laden era of The National. For me, neither of those things hurt, and that’s why I’m looking forward to this Friday’s release of Kubla Khan, the band’s new LP. You should be looking too!

Golden Suits Will Change Your Day

August 2, 2016 RayRay Leave a comment

Many folks on the interwebs have been talking about Fred Nicolaus and his new project known as Golden Suits recently. Fred is known primarily for his work with Department of Eagles, but now he’s ready to make a name for himself on his own. He’s absolutely killing me today with this new track “Gold Feeling”. I suggest you play this one a few times as it seems to get better and better with each and every listen. It’s clearly folk inspired while still giving you an incredible overall pop experience. Prepare to fall in love.

Golden Suits will drop Kubla Khan on October 7th via Hit City U.S.A.

Folk Pop Beauty From Golden Suits

May 21, 2013 RayRay Leave a comment

Here’s a very beautiful and interesting folk pop themed number called “Didn’t I Warn You” from Brooklyn based Golden Suits. The band is essentially a one man show featuring Fred Nicolaus of Department of Eagles doing most the work with a few friends helping during the recording process. Sounds could easily be related to Nicolaus’ other band and I can see nothing wrong with that.

New debut self-titled album is due out August 20th via Yep Roc Records.
