We've written about Gold Spectacles many times before (here and here and here). We are very happy to hear more of their music. This writing and production duo from South West London consistently delivers fresh and well-crafted pop music with a sonic palette that 'toes the line between electronic and organic landscapes.' The music of Gold Spectacles is known for solid hooks, thoughtful lyrics, and a blend of indie vibes that range from slick electro grooves a la Phoenix, to a creative, classic-pop revivalism in the style of Swedish wunderkind Lyyke Li.
Latest track "Together for Christmas" takes on a personal note as singer Amie explains:
We wrote the song in the aftermath of losing my Dad. We wanted to write something that could resonate with anyone facing this time of year with an empty chair at the table.
I think it's important to acknowledge how difficult the holidays can be for people that are grieving, or that are in a time or place in their life where they don't have access to family. "Together for Christmas" is a beautiful and impeccably-produced new single from Gold Spectacles that offers a simple but powerful message for the holidays: we may mourn the loss of a loved one at the same time that we celebrate the memory of a life well lived.
And above all, be kind to yourself. You deserve it.
