Goldheart Assembly - Under The Waterway

Ltd Edition of 350 copies only

OVERVIEW: ‘Under The Waterway’ is the second single to be taken from Goldheart Assembly’s debut album, ‘Wolves And Thieves’ which was released to a chorus of critical approval in March on fierce panda. Shiny lead-off single ‘King Of Rome’ gleaned plays across the Radio 2 board and sat on the 6Music A-List for a month and, if anything, ‘Under The Waterway’ is even more huggable and radio-friendly, representing as it does the pop pinnacle of the ‘Wolves And Thieves’ opus with its sun-dappled melodies, creamy harmonies, cheeky ukulele and cheerily melancholic edge.
‘Wolves And Thieves’ itself is no slouch in the appreciation stakes either: a glowingly knowing NME lead album review was followed up with a rousing double page feature while The Guardian, Mojo, Uncut, The Sun and The Independent all raised their metaphorical glasses to a panoramic sounds cape which sounds epic without being pompous, poppy without sounding trashy and blindingly cool with apparently very little effort.
At the end of March Goldheart Assembly headlined the ICA - a show which sold out six weeks before the doors opened - and announced a full spring UK tour culminating in their biggest show to date at London’s King’s College. The Great British Summer is where Goldheart Assembly’s star will really shine bright - much of their audience was cultivated at 2009’s open air festivities, where the sextet’s blend of knockabout banter and intensely serious musicianship charmed all and sundry. Which brings us rather neatly back to the sunshine swoonery of ‘Under The Waterway’, a festival anthem in waiting.
