BLACK GOLD – Idols

• 29th Nov 2009

A dose of mid-tempo indie cruising with mild outbursts of reflection is illuminated by stammering instrumental and vocal touches, drawing out worrisome tendencies for ‘Idols’.

This is the third single from the genre mixing debut album ‘Rush’ and, it bears out singer Eric Ronicks’ ability to slowly build up the vocal tension.

Already Black Gold show the mood building leanings and tune-crafting poise that many had been expecting Haven to go onto prolifically produce. The foundation is firmly set for a thoughtfully melodic career, as long as they keep building from their stammering and reflective base.
