Well, the may be boys and they may be a band, but they're sure not a 'boy band'. They write, produce, and play their own very diverse and eclectic material, and their debut album, 'True Romance,' is a real treat! Said one reviewer: "flamboyant lyrics, references to Greek myth and big, elastic bass lines dominate.."
Here's the official video of 'Arrows of Eros,' it's the shorter, single version without the mid-song tempo acceleration... But check out also the awesome full-length live version at the end of this post!!!
Golden Silvers show another side with 'True Romance,' their album's title track, in this video where they play amidst a 'Soul Train'-like dance floor of teenagers...
Here's the more angular but equally singable 'Magic Touch..' Referencing the 60s and 80s British invasions...
Here's 'Arrow of Eros' live, five glorious tempo-shifting minutes of it, at the Glastonbury music festival, where they won the 'best new talent' award in 2008...
