Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album from the Austin, Texas-based indie rock band. 'The Golden Band' is a quintessential document of their minimalist and hypnotic sound, built on repetitive organ and vibraphone loops, whispered vocals, and a steady, understated rhythm section. The album refines the Krautrock and drone-pop influences of their earlier work, creating a collection of mellow, atmospheric songs that are both soothing and subtly psychedelic.
