One in every of our favourite bands we have been launched due to our Sense of Place sequence is Gold Connections. It was again in 2020 after we made the jaunt all the way down to Richmond, Va., to highlight a few of finest new music popping out of the area. One group that raised its hand in an enormous means was the undeniably catchy indie rock band fronted by Will Marsh.
After the pandemic, Marsh packed up store and headed south, to New Orleans, to get his grasp’s diploma and work with Habitat for Humanity. He linked along with his youthful cousin, Fraser Wright — a beast on guitar — and introduced Eric Lloyd and Andrew Pancamo of Motel Radio into the fold.
The band, armed with 5 songs that have been recorded in Charlottesville, Va., earlier than the transfer, went all the way down to Dockside Studio in Lafayette, La., to finish Gold Connections’ newest album, Fortune.
As Marsh factors out, it is “a dialog between outdated Virginia and the buzzy psychedelic world of post-COVID New Orleans.”
