This London-based six-piece have only been together just over a year but their immaculate folk-pop choruses mean that they've already achieved much in that short time. Their debut single on London indie label Heron Recordings sold out in a day and got them truckloads of airplay, an NME feature and led to triumphant shows at Glastonbury, V, Latitude and the Carling Weekend.
Most excitingly it piqued the interest of Fierce Panda records for whom Goldheart Assembly have spent the summer recording their debut album among the old engines in their drummer's dad's steam train museum in Norfolk. The record will be out very early in 2010.
"They take a joyous acoustic beardy bunch of ideas and mess around with them like a cat playing with a ball of string. Already you could easily put them out on tour supporting Fleet Foxes or The Low Anthem (now there's an idea). And they smile at each other on stage - which is so out of character for new bands these days (unless it's a nervous tick) that it's actually quite infectious." Steve Lamacq
"...the way they switch between playing the kind of ballad that wouldn't sound out of place at midnight on the Pyramid Stage ('So Long St Christopher') and a garage belter like forthcoming single 'Oh Really' suggests this is a band with the whole world ahead of them." Martin Robinson, NME
So Long St. Christopher
The Debut Single available now on iTunes and 7" vinyl

There's me sitting in O'Neils enjoying something to eat and drink with some friends and I hear a familiar sound coming at me from the speakers. I told my friends to stop talking and listen and kept saying "who is this? I can't put my finger on it!" and then BAM! All of a sudden the penny drops..."it's Goldheart Assembly!" I exclaim!
Hi guys! Great gig at Stockton Riverside Festival. Shame that doped up guy got more attention! Can't wait for an album. Will see ya at The Cluny :-D xxxxxx
