Golden Silvers

Even though this blog is a homage to fashion and fashion inspiration, I am a music student so I would like my blog to include the occasional article on a band or artist I may love at the time. 

Today my music article will be about the band Golden Silvers. Do not fret though fashion lovers, this post will not only be on music, as the lead singer has excellent taste in clothing and this happens to be one of the reasons I regard them so highly (other then the fact that they write very good songs). 

Their first album is called 'True Romance' and definitely shows how Romanticism is making a come-back. It has excellent use of synthesizer, the synth accompanies the songs well and doesn't take over (this often happens in bands attempts at using this instrument). The singer's voice is strong with a unique tone, but highly likable nonetheless. And the lyrics are interesting with clever metaphors and references to Greek Mythology (always good in my book!). My favorite songs on the album are 'Arrows of Eros', 'Magic Touch', 'Please Venus' and 'True no 9 Blues (True Romance)'.


The band is comprised of lead singer and keyboardist Gwilym Gold, bassist Ben Moorhouse, and drummer Robden Alexis Nunez. They have played at many of the top festivals, including Glastonbury, and have been placed in the top 10 of The Guardian's Best Albums of 2009.

 This is an acoustic video of their song 'Magic Touch' made by WatchListenTell, who make interesting acoustic videos of new upcoming bands, see their amazing YouTube channel here. Their harmonies are so tight and I would definitely buy this if it was made into a recording. I love the lead singer's sense of style, I wish all boys would dress like this. I love his outfit in this video, and his hair, he's just so cool!

Their sense of style obviously shone through as they appeared in vogue with an article and photoshoot,

Overall I think they are a great band and will become very big, very soon. You heard it from me first!
