Recently signed to the Jigsaw Label, Austin Gold release their debut album Before Dark Clouds. The band of David James Smith (vocals & guitars), Jack Cable (guitars), Lee Churchill (bass), Russell Hill (Hammond & keyboards) and Chris Ogden (drums), have been building a reputation as one of the best live acts around. The album, as with all the labels releases, was tracked to analogue tape. Armed with ten original songs and with near-telepathic communication, the band laid down the tightest of rock-solid tracks. Their melting pot of influences come together to create something that is really very special. From heavy guitar riffs, to the most delicate heart-felt ballads, from atmospheric sonic landscapes, to hook-driven melodies, this is an album that deserves to be heard.
