Goldenrod is a burgoo of musicians and outsider artists scattered across America. Their debut album, Paintings for Prophets, is a concept record that hybridizes electro, psychedelia, pre-'74 funk, and neo-soul with dark tinges of Appalachia. Analog synths, African gourd banjo, upright bass, and Native American percussion coalesce with freakazoid 808s and dirty fatback drums. One reviewer described the record as "New Age Motown" and another as "Palamino Valium funk."
Paintings for Prophets is a solid and intriguing declaration on the current state of the world. It is a lucid promnesia in a golden, perigee moonlight birthing synchro-mystic symmetry between the electronic and the organic.
