EP REVIEW: THE GOLD SUPPLY “UNDERWATER COMPLETELY”
Cover Image: Underwater Completely
Formed and twisted during a time of crisis, The Gold Supply is a new female-front band by former major label artists. Characterized by cold, dark tunes, they aim to reflect the new world of turmoil. Grunge, dream pop, and art rock splash into their own bizarre vocabulary with deeply haunting riffs, chilly pianos, and captivating vocals in the warm ruins. Evocative and unforgettable.
Raw with no pretense. They depict the world exactly the way they feel with no false hope or sugary decors. There’s a sense of disappointment and pain from a sensitive, emotive perspective in Underwater Completely. They remind you of Kurt Cobain’s aesthetics. Raw and extreme, but deep-rooted in human experience, which makes the tunes so relatable and touching. The Gold Supply gets under your skin easily, evoking feelings and memories you thought you already forgot.
Through their highly developed senses and perceptions, The Gold Supply dives into the details and soft spots of everyday life, creating something artistically delicate and relatable on a human level. Underwater Completely is filled with those tender, wrenching electric guitar screams and lo-fi vocals dancing in a distance. There’s a constant ring in each song that sounded so strange yet familiar.
Sonically, they create something you could listen to on repeat. Underwater Completely touches on feelings in a multi-dimensional way with so much lingering in the air. It invites you to dive deep into life and your own feelings in a cold, dark night of realization.
