Black Gold 'Idols'

• 28th Nov 2009

“Black Gold have been described as a rare commodity indeed for their ability in merging past and present musical styles that manage to delineate as much as deviate from their influences”

The Fly, November 2009

“Idols” is the third single (released December 14th) from Rush, Black Gold's debut album. Built around a lush vocal line, and anthemic chorus, this track is an uplifting and positive, a real album highlight. The video, directed by new-comer Tamara Gildengers Connolly, is a nod to 60's psychedelia and draws inspiration from The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour movie, with a little hint of more contempory acts like Panic! At The Disco, lead singer Eric Ronicks former group.
