Black Gold - Idols

Black Gold are currently touring the UK with The Book House Boys, and release "Idols", probably the stand out track off their debut album, Rush, this week. A mid-tempo'd number, that has a chorus built for stadiums, it sees lead singer Eric Ronick'svoice take on a husky, almost whisper in the verses, while when you reach that chorus, it's a pure shout-along rush. 

The middle 8 is a dreamy, almost psychedelic trip, that cements the more classic influences that can be heard on the track (check the video below, it's very Beatles-y). Some of the drumming, particularly towards the end is real quality, and having recently seen said drummer in the flesh, I can confirm that it is as impressive in a live environment.
