about

Recent signings to AnalogueTrash, atmospheric, zombie-in-a-coma, science-fiction indie mavericks The Gold Supply follow up their acclaimed Something Like You single with their label debut EP, Open Lines.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead, Bjork, The Verve, and Spiritualized; the band released a demo EP in September 2021 gaining excellent reviews and airplay courtesy of BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, AwayDay Radio, Radio Wigwam, and many more.

The Gold Supply signed to AnalogueTrash shortly after, with their debut EP scheduled for release in April 2022 alongside a string of live dates throughout the summer, where their unique brand of 'moshpit pop' is sure to go down a storm.

The four tracks on the EP don't hold back lyrically or emotionally. As the trio explore some of the most pressing concerns we face as individuals and as a species, they bring us face to face with our flaws and fears.

The band says about the EP opener, 'Let It Go is an intensely personal song about death. This song is about the anger stage of grief. That stage hangs around a long. long time and eats away at your insides. The title 'let it go' is a sarcastic reflection of the advice you always get from people: their cure for you is just to let it go, live life, move on. It's terrible advice and it doesn't work. Ever.'

Vocalist Kevin revealed this about No Addictions. 'The song is a meditation on the nature of addiction. Even darker than the addiction is the denial of the addiction - it's the denial that causes the biggest problems. Most people have either a personal experience of this situation or experience through a friend or relative.

'There is no fairy-tale ending to No Addictions, no suggested answers, or cures for today's issues. Just the reality. Lena is brilliant at making small changes to songs that have a big impact and that little spoken-word Polish section gives me goosebumps every time.'

Talking about Never the Same Again, Kevin says, 'The track is about the inside of your head, that fight you have with yourself about whether you're doing well or badly, whether you're happy or bored. That's what this song is about. The line 'am I loved in here or am I lost in here' is asking how you feel about yourself in your head.'

The band gets intensely personal on Something Like You. They disclose, 'This song isn't about someone else, it's about yourself, asking if you are happy with yourself, would you choose to be your friend, or would you be in a relationship with someone like you? This a song that you really need to play at a loud volume. I think it's a cool track to drive to, but not in a 30mph zone - motorway only, I think!'

Kevin continues, 'Our Last Few Days was always going to be the last song on the EP. The schoolyard game where you talk about what you'd do if the world was going end usually involved talk of having a massive pool party in Costa Rica with all the cool kids in the year above you, or maybe going on a road trip to smoke the best drugs on the planet.

'It turns out that what we would actually do in the event is shrug our shoulders and send out leaders to attend a nice conference This song was actually written during COP26, and it really felt like a massive anti-climax to 200,000 years of modern humans. Will we make it to 201,000 years?'
