Gold Blood - Twilight Language EP

With no official publicity to date, Gold Blood have already gained praise in high places due to their frenetic, hardcore-influenced electronic art pop, both on record and at their unique, compelling gigs. Their affiliation with the thriving, acclaimed Brixton club night World Unknown has also helped propel this band into the conscience of underground connoisseurs across the nation.Gold Blood is collaboration between Emile Bojesen and keyboard enthusiast Michael Anthony Wright. Emile is better known for previously fronting the hardcore band Chariots (Holy Roar, Big Scary Monsters), his current noise-rock band The Good Wife (Super-Fi) and his writing and performance in the multilateral art project with JMF Casey - The Church. Michael has been making electronic music under the guise of Brassica (Dissident, Tartaruga, Cyber Dance) as well other collaborations such as Queen of Swords (Aurora Borealis), Achrid (Benbecula), Minus Two Quartet, The Laptop Orchestra (with David Toop) and Dallas Brett (with Jorja Chalmers of The Ting Tings and Brian Ferry’s band). Gold Blood is a meeting of two strongly individual habitations of music, forming together in the faith of working outside of one's comfort zone towards something original and exciting. Emile's vocals and lyrics work with narratives, concrete poetics and self-referentiality. Michael works with keyboards and drum machines, especially old ones. Somehow it works. Gold Blood are in the habit of impressing wherever they go. Human Shield co-runner Ali Renault (also one half of synth pop heroes Heartbreak) deigned their music more than proficient to release and Dissident London founder/international DJ Andy Blake came on board to manage the band, having been blown away by their show at his highly-rated London club World Unknown. “The midas touch of Gold Blood: totally awesome post-synth-punk. Gold Blood are one of the best new bands I’ve heard this year." Vice “Built upon pop, post-punk, improvisation and rock n roll." Artrocker “A bit like if The Presets went to Nesh parties and listened to a whole lot of Black Flag. They’re also sporting the type of credentials heads go crazy for. Be ready, Gold Blood are coming." Dazed and Confused
“There isn’t anyone around at the moment you could compare them to. It’s that uniqueness which suggests an exciting future.” Music Week – Record Of The Week"Gold Blood is largely composed of every single one of the elements that makes musical art trenchant: not-giving-a-fuck-itude with a beat and lyrics that cut both coming and going. I like."  Eugene S. Robinson, Oxbow "Wierdo-synth-electro-popcore. This has a tribal effect on me and makes me want to throw myself on the dancefloor and make a tit of myself." Gill Mills, Best Of MySpace / NME Radio
