Gold Wolf Galaxy is crazy. Their sound is unconventional to say the least: a mix of 80’s hair metal and disco, layered with an outrageous amount of synths that results in something reminiscent of a sci-fi movie soundtrack. With their self-titled album released in April of this year, this talented duo Spencer and Roger harkens back to an age of electronic music that I thought disappeared while MTV was still a station devoted to music television. “Freja” has to be my favorite song on the album, and it sounds like it came straight out of a Tron basement rave. The buildups are great and when the synths cut out for a split second before blasting off with renewed fury provided by Roger’s guitar, I can’t get enough.
While I’m not sure Gold Wolf Galaxy will ever be hugely successful in a commercial manner, they are making some very unique music and they seem like they would be a lot of fun live. Similar to bands like Chromeo who combine guitar and keyboard with over the top synthesizers, Gold Wolf Galaxy is definitely best seen live, where you can listen to Roger shred on the guitar while being assaulted by lights and lasers.
Love it! Gold Wolf Galaxy is awesome!
