Black Golden Bull

About Me

This is the official Black Golden Bull myspace page, now operated by Non Entity Labs.From the Non Entity Labs web site:Black Golden Bull joins the burgeoning singer/ songwriter collective with its conglomeration of country and western (the good kind...), low-fi pop, and vocals registering somewhere between Roy Rogers and Sufjan Stevens. Heavy on imagery and sad and lonely landscapes, BGB layers seemingly simple lyricism with those archetypal images and metaphors that permeate all of our favorite mythologies. (Plus there’s some gun-slinging.)With wonderfully simple and singable lyrics suspended above a primary backdrop of acoustic guitar (sometimes the only backdrop), BGB reminds us of what country and western used to be like and how good it was. How it somehow got to the very roots of who we are. Especially those of us blessed enough to have been formed by the gently rolling hills and seemingly endless prairies of the Midwest. Yet, all the while, they maintain a pop sensibility that weaves together a achingly beautiful mixture of unlike genres.*******All materials copyright 2008 Non Entity Labs. All rights reserved.
