I knew that I wanted the forthcoming album to be defiant and full of skin and trouble and spit and love. I was feeling that way, and was thinking about persecution and resistance, about how people on the outside have always dealt with isolation and rejection, external and internalised fear and hatred, and those who’ve survived it have built lives they could call their own despite it all. But I was also having a hard time personally, having just come out of an intense relationship, and couldn’t settle or stay in one place for long. I was reading James Baldwin and Maggie Nelson, about bodies that carry shame and power, bodies as sites of personal and political liberation. I knew the album had to be personal in order to write about those other ideas floating around in my head. ‘Twist in the Dark’ is a good starting place for the record, I think. It’s about transformation, but not transformation into anything in particular, just about transformation itself. The push and pull of it, the need to keep going despite the pain of it in the hope of finding some light, and the knowledge that pain and light go hand in hand much of the time. - Adam Curley, vocalist

Gold Class come out swinging with their sophomore release. It's not as immediately catchy as their first LP, but it digs in deep and delivers a slow burn. It's a better album than the first, but it's also a lot more challenging. One of Australia's finest! Hellerphant
The first full-length release from this St. Louis group is full of simple, sweet dream pop songs with a touch of Paisley Underground fuzz. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2018

Better late to the party than never. How did I miss this band? It's a great blend of The Cure during their 'a forest' period and alternative rock. The first track Grandview plunges you into an ocean of psychodelic guitars and rythmic drums and like a siren lures you into the depths. A very accomplished album and although I wouldn't categorize it as Gothic it captures the early spirit of that dusty genre better than most contemporary bands nowadays. stargazing robot
