I loved this album as soon as I heard it. I didn't think that anyone made music like this any more, with real instruments, real singing, real lyrics and real melodies. My favourite tracks are Seagull, Lady Jones and Enjoy the Nature. Seagull is so picturesque- the instrumentation and wonderful lilting shanty town rhythm completely conjures up an image of a seascape of dreams. Very inspirational and mood enhancing. Lady Jones is the epitome of brooding folk melting perfectly into present day pyschedelia- the sounds start really simple and build up to a crescendo of noises that really transport the mind to a different plane. Enjoy the Nature is unlike anything I've ever heard before... a mixture of reggae and folk with smatterings of hammond, barber-shop backing vocals blending with a choir chorus- I found myself genuinely smiling and feeling better about the day! The result is a hymn to the wonder of nature with a childlike simplicity that really appeals to the ear.
I've always been a huge appreciator of artists that are not afraid to break boundaries and experiment with new sounds, and The Golden Dawn satisfies that criteria with flying colours. Overall the songs are lovely, the style is superb and the melodies are so catchy that you'll be humming them for days! I can't wait for more.
