Golden
Golden
Bringing his classic rock antics to the masses while infusing it with a deep and soulful blues’ spin – topped with a country twang that brings his roots back to the forefront – Colin Moore presents his first full length since 2013, “Golden” (Indica Records, 2022). A new record for a new era, and yet again, the perfect excuse to dive headfirst into the music that engraved his origins. After a very successful run on Québec’s La Voix, where he placed second, Moore returns to familiar spheres, to the dirty sounds of whiskey and the intimate feeling of hitting the road with a harmonica crunching its melody.
Follow-up to 2013’s Heart of the storm, “Golden” is everything you would expect of the artist:
A musical ellipse where Moore revives the spirit and vitality of the golden years as if to preserve the fizzled innocence from his youthful days, through the magnifying glass of a lucid “here & now”. A sound that has the maturity of his musicianship’s ambitions without mellowing down the fury. A deep reflection on the burning fire that is life with a need to reclaim his piece of heaven – in a climate plastered by anxiety and the uncertainty of a better tomorrow. A space where he can, at times, allow himself to dig into introspective and vulnerable territories (“Unreachable Things"); at times, observe our common flaws in the scenery flanked by misery and injustice ("Feed The Flame"); at times, opting for resilience with a rebellious flare (“Golden”). All of which encompasses the human and musical journey that carries the entire album.
