BANDS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Band #3: Golden Void

You can expect great music to happen when people who have known each other and played together in various bands since highschool, earning fame and renown in bands such as Earthless and Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound, finally get together and make an album.
Golden Void formed in 2009 after Isaiah Mitchell (guitar vocals) moved to the California Bay Area. Together with Aaron Morgan (bass) and Justin Pinkerton (drums) and Camilla Saufley-Mitchell (keyboard) Isaiah created an outstanding debut album where their musical kindredship is apparenty with every track.

When I first heard about their self-titled I expected nothing short of awesome and Golden Void more than delivered! The album offers warm, accessible psychedelic tunes very reminiscent of the early years, think Jimi Hendrix with bit more modern and full sound, as well as the spaced out, seemingly endless solos we have come to love Isaiah Mitchell for.

On the closing track Atlantis, also my personal favourite, hauntingly calm and beautiful vocals and chorus tell of the demise of people and culture by the rising seas in form of an out-of-this-world guitar solo.

In their short band history Golden Void have left quite a mark on the psychedelic & stoner rock scene already. They have toured Europe, playing at the legendary Roadburn festival where they received a warm welcome. 

 

 
Buy their record (the limited Vinyl is gorgeous!) and don’t miss them next chance you get to see them live!
