Artist: Fool's Gold
Album: Leave No Trace
Fool's Gold are an L.A.-based indie-rock band that melds 80's inspired dance-pop, African rhythms, and Hebrew/English lyrics. I hear a little Vampire Weekend, whom I never truly got into, though they're really the only indie-touchstone that marries their love of a variety of African music, 80's synths, and straight up power-pop music.
The band was formed by Luke Top and Lewis Pesacov as initially a collaboration, then a full-length album, their self-titled debut which was released in 2009. They added band members and toured, the line-up constantly changing until they whittled down to a tight five-piece. For their follow up, "Leave No Trace," Top ditched singing in Hebrew and focused on expressing himself in English.
I liked the sound of this record, nothing outrageous or earth-shattering, just good pop-rock music.
Enjoy.
