Dawn Golden – Still Life

Originally published on Alt Media

After three years of production Dawn Golden have released their debut album Still Life, a quiet dreamy electronic offering.

Influenced by soulful ‘80s music, the tracks have real passion and soul behind them before being filtered with electronic distorted beats and heavy vocal editing to give them a more futuristic sound.

Using half-speed melodies and methodical depressed beats layered with echo-heavy synths and FX-laden vocals, the album creates a depressed contemplative mood that is best digested in order with each track building on the last.

Stand out tracks are All I Want and Last Train. 

Chevotain, a purely instrumental track, is disappointing and could have been discarded.
