GOLDRUSH - The Heart Is The Place
| Silent Urpoar | | Britain’s Goldrush has released one of indie rock’s first must-have albums of 2007, The Heart is the Place. Bristling with catchy melodies, fuzzed out guitars and insightful lyrics, this album sees Goldrush paying tribute to their influences (Flaming Lips, Wilco), while at the same time forging their own musical path. Key tracks include “Everyone of Us” and “Heaven’s My Destination.” FYI: If you really want to get the full effect of this album, grab a pair of headphones and plug them in.

As might be expected, one of the beautifully breathy Bennett brothers (say that ten times fast) sings that "there must be a place for every one of us." Nice thought, but it's not necessarily true, especially in the world of music. Not every band can make it and realistically, most don't. But I suppose it's an easy enough remark if you're Goldrush. Their Oxford bred style of '90s Britpop may be considered passé, but there's just something about a group who does something incredibly well. Their name might not be uttered in the same breaths as Coldplay, Doves or even Keane, but I doubt that will last long....full text |
