GOLDEN VIRTUES

debut ALBUM out december

About Me

Putting a modern spin on vintage electrofolk, Golden Virtues pour seductive harmonies, wild flute licks and va-va-voom violin into a deep, dark glass blown of strums, drums and bass runs.Songs swing from classically flavoured compositions and melancholy drop-d epics; to simple slinky rock numbers and pure punk-folk thigh slappers.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
