Maurizio Abate and Luca Massolin (Golden Jooklo Age/ the man behind the 8mm label) are Golden Cup and together they create an ultra-vivid sonic environment to escape into. Utilizing electric guitar, electric organ, electronic mandolin and electronics (their electricity bill must be through the roof!). Each instrument is used delicately and their sound is refined, with psychedelic and celestial drones, tripped out effected strings and slow burning bubbling electronics that demand closed eyes and a darkened room for maximum pleasure. Zone out and feel the love wash over you, as things creep up slowly, gently rising and transporting you to the kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors. Am digging the totally spaced out vibes the duo have transmitted here. Heavyweight vinyl in an edition of 150 copies.
New LP from duo of Maurizio Abate and Luca Massolin (member of Golden Jooklo Age and owner of the awesome 8mm Records). Golden Cup's wild sound comes from there unique use of electronic mandolin, electronics, electric guitar, and electric organ making a wildly original psyche out blast that is truly immense. This LP consists of two long pieces, one per side, both quite different, but both equally awesome and hazy psychedelic jams to highest order. 'O Sol, O Mar E A Harmonia, Do Seu' is opens with bubbling electronics, layering in drones and shimmering guitar bliss outs. The drone steadily increasing to a massive wall of electric burn. The B side, 'Improvisation', gives us wailing strings with mandolin bursts, raging to a full on ethereal freak out. Limited edition of only 150 copies with full colour paste on covers and insert, pressed on heavyweight virgin vinyl with hand stamped labels.
