Gold Streets new EP "GO" is also available at the digital retailers below:
Combining thick, textured guitar with weaving bass, perfectly shaped drums, and cascading vocal harmonies is Gold Streets’ specialty. The method of composition varies, but it all “harkens back to the days when 4AD was running things” (Village Voice). Fast garnering a place in a musical landscape most certainly unoccupied by others, Gold Streets is fast-paced with occasional moments of dreaminess, familiar and new all at the same time. Be sure to check out their new EP "GO".
Gold Streets has had the great honor to have shared the stage with some amazing bands including: Cougar, A Place to Bury Strangers, Anathallo, Vampire Weekend, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Magic Numbers, The Brazilian Girls, and many more.

PRESS
"Following several years after their debut Lp , 2007’s Looks Like Fireflies, the new EP is another stellar effort. Since their beginnings in 2004, I’ve found it hard not to think of late ’80s/early ’90s SONIC YOUTH or a whole host of dream-pop and shoegazer bands from that same time period and that’s still very much in evidence here and that especially pertains to the first track “Billy’s Dead”, which features singer/guitarist NORMAN VINO on lead vocals.
Overall, though, I think the songwriting has improved and the production has as well. The last track, “Dark Horse “, is a bit of a departure for the group, though, and has “indie dance hit” written all over it. Furthermore, bassist GISELLA OTTERSON and drummer TIFFANY ALMY (who also beautifully harmonizes with Vino, bringing to mind the indie-pop harmonies of the great New York band VERSUS) rev up more dance-oriented rhythms on the penultimate, titular track as well." - The Big Takeover/Matthew Berlyant's Top Ten
"Gold Streets harken back to the days when 4AD was running things.”
- Village Voice
“This fresh NYC based band tears it up with heart stopping rhythms and bass lines that won’t quit. Don’t miss Gold Streets as they make their way towards their destiny A.K.A. stardom.”
- Hudson River Rocks Festival | www.hudsonriverpark.org
“I hear some influence from the Cure and Cocteau Twins but their sound is completely their own. It’s a fascinating niche of groovy bass, spaced out rock, and split male/female vocals which this bands inhabits and I like everything I’ve heard from them so far.”
- www.earfarm.com
“Gold Streets crafts a lush, psychedelic sound that renders their particular brand of indie rock powerfully dreamy.”
- Vanessa Lopez | Block Magazine
“Sonically rich with throbbing bass lines and pulsing waves of guitar, Gold Streets…evokes fellow New York bands such as Straylight Run and stellastarr*.”
- Snack of the Day | Deli Magazine
“The sound they achieve is their own, and whether they are playing an upbeat, dancey rocker or a more mellow tune, their sound is big. In fact, we were a bit surprised when we first found out the band, with such an expansive guitar sound and propulsive, versatile rhythm section is made up of only three people.”
