Listen to the first single from the EP "Embrace" featuring
George Maple (previous collaborations with Flume, Flight Facilities, Snakehips and more) here:
Drawing unexpected songwriting inspiration from artists like
Tom Petty and Ryan Adams, Goldroom turned to Southern California to create his nostalgic sound. He originally wrote the four tracks on an acoustic guitar before recording them in studio, giving the EP a melodic, effortless feel. Goldroom has produced an EP that's a perfect antidote to the fist-pumping, club-centric culture that many associate with the genre.
On the EP, Goldroom captures the chill vibes of summertime in LA, infusing them with tropical textures. "Embrace" layers
George Maple's emotive vocals on top of the dreamy synth-pop track, creating an anthemic summertime song. Kayslee Collins teams up with Goldroom on the breezy "Tradewinds", while
Nikki Segal adds her airy vocals to the beat-heavy "California Rain." On "Fifteen," Chela's celestial voice accompanies Goldroom's soulful, nostalgic pop, rounding out the four track EP.
Goldroom (aka Josh Legg) has garnered praise from Pitchfork, Fader, MTV, The Guardian (Band of the Week) and more, also earning 'most blogged about' honors on Hype Machine. He's toured extensively, playing a range of festivals from SXSW and Firefly to EDM gatherings like Ultra
Music Festival. Dubbed "one of Los Angeles' dance music tastemakers" by Billboard, he'll play several North American festival dates this summer with his live four-piece band, including resident singer
Nikki Segal. Full dates below.
