Welsh band HOMES formed in Cardiff last year and have since garnered support from BBC Wales and Buzz magazine. Now ready to take the rest of the UK (and beyond!) by storm, the band have shared a brand new single.
“Black Gold” is filled with fuzzy riffs, catchy hooks, and uptempo melodies. Oozing smooth, languid vocals, reminiscent of the likes of Franz Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos, it’s an addictive slice of indie-pop.
Describing “Black Gold” as “Monday’s blues and Friday’s booze all mixed into one sentimental pint of coffee,” HOMES founder Dylan Morgan has explained that the track was inspired by the tale of an aspiring musician who refuses to give up despite all the odds being against him. This feeling of hope and determination flows from the track alongside its upbeat, catchy charm. As the twang of guitars races alongside Morgan’s deep drawl and undeniable charisma, “Black Gold” is an utterly infectious offering.
‘Black Gold’ is out now via Outback Recordings.
