Release Notes:
Goldheart Assembly are comprised of six young men who live in London
Town. They consist of Jake Bowser (keyboards, vocals), James Dale
(vocals, bass), Nicky Francis (drums, vocals), Thomas Hastings (vocals,
various instruments), John Herbert (vocals, guitar) and Dominic
Keshavarz (lead guitar, vocals).
On March 15th 2010 Goldheart Assembly will release their debut album
'Wolves And Thieves' on fierce panda records. And you can't say it
hasn't been a long time aÆcoming: since forming at the close of 2008
the sextet have spent much of their spare time carefully nurturing an
ebullient live fanbase via the BBC Introducing Stages at Glastonbury
and Reading / Leeds and ravishingly received performances at Latitude,
the Camden Crawl, Swn and In The City, not to mention a mini-tour with
The Low Anthem and a sold out Borderline in October. All this off the
back of little more than one limited 7" single release, 'So Long St
Christopher' on Heron Recordings, and the sort of seemingly carefree
approach to live performances where the charm comes first and the tunes
impact later.
Fittingly then 'Wolves And Thieves' was recorded by the band themselves
in a makeshift studio amongst the old steam engines at the Forncett
Industrial Steam Museum in Norfolk in the middle of 2009. It was then
finished and mixed with Laurie Latham (Echo & The Bunnymen, Squeeze,
Ian Dury & The Blockheads) at Helicon Mountain studios in Greenwich.
The key to Goldheart Assembly could well be that they are music lovers
first and wannabe rock stars second. This means that they can be
playful, even knockabout in their approach to live shows but in the
studio there is fearsomely disciplined side which pays minute attention
to the details of the drum sound, the hum of the harmoniesàthe
near-invisible things that the passionate musician dwells upon. And
this means that the likes of 'Hope Hung High', 'The Last Decade' and
lead-off single 'King Of Rome' can sound epic without being pompous,
poppy without sounding trashy and blindingly cool with apparently very
little effort.
