Goldspot - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Few have captured artistic honesty, musical purity, and sheer songcraft as LA's Goldspot do on their full-length debut "Tally Of The Yes Men" - an inspired melding of decades of rock and pop influences with the melodic sensibilities of old Indian film music.
Imagine Paul Simon heading to Mumbai to record his next record and listening to the Cure on the flight and you're getting close.
Goldspot's debut "Tally of the Yes Men" was unleashed in the UK on June 11, 2007, under Mercury UK (Universal Music Group).
And here's what some very nice people had to say about our music:
"One of the best bands to come out of America in years." - Dan Cairns, Sunday Times, 2007 http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertai nment/music/article1642199.ece
"Some of the most memorable vocal melodies heard in a long time." POPJOURNALISM, 2006
"...a true phenomenon..." - LA Weekly
"...a musical gem...the group's debut album reveals a band that has managed to find a sweet spot between indie aesthetics, soundtrack standouts, and commercial radio accessibility.
The songs on this unassuming pop album are low-key but shimmering, carefully produced but warmly organic, and just melancholy enough to be sympathetic without being melodramatically emotional or mopey...in a sense, it feels like Goldspot is a band out of time, or perhaps even more accurately, that they've tapped into a timeless vein of subtle pop. " - POPMATTERS
"While pop/rock bands of this ilk usually have a couple of smashes, Tally distinguishes itself by keeping up the quality throughout the album. Nary a misstep here, this reeks of a dirty little mainstream secret in an otherwise indie-centric closet." - EXCLAIM! 2006
