ARIA-nominated, Melbourne rockers KINGSWOOD today expose a new side of their music with the release of the soulful new single ‘Golden’ along with an official video for the track. The second single to be revealed from their forthcoming second album, After Hours, Close To Dawn, (which is set for release via Dew Process on March 3), the song sees the band trade in their trademark big riffs and throaty vocals, and in their lay down a grooving bassline, beautiful falsetto harmonies, and a tinge of Wurlitzer that all combine into a sound that will lead you to see KINGSWOOD in a whole new light.
 
‘Golden’, which premiered via the airwaves on triple j’s Goodnights, is a seductive, slow jam, which again highlights the unexpected and subtler nuances about what lies beneath KINGSWOOD’s rock n’ roll swagger. The band’s guitarist and songwriter, Alex Laska, says the song is inspired by the intense sensations triggered by the spark of human connection. “Golden is a reflection on the weird split between euphoria / isolation that I’ve often felt after having really connected with someone, particularly romantically, in those early stages, you’re vibing high off the experience but only you and perhaps the other person can share it, sometimes only you…” 

“The Golden video reflects the idea of a lonesome high, particularly in retrospect, using diving as the metaphor. I’ve often thought diving must be so exhilarating / euphoric but only really enjoyed by the few who pursue it. In a way, it reflects that ideas behind the song by representing elements of that feeling only you are left with after a specific emotional experience.”

On Thursday 16th February, KINGSWOOD, will be hosting a one night only After Hours, Close To Dawn pop-up bar at The Black Pearl in Fitzroy, Melbourne. The evening kicks off at 6pm till late and is a celebration of the new album where fans, friends and family get a sneak peak of the influences around the band’s second album. The band will be spinning jams all night long; a sneaky little snapshot of the new album’s influences and styles from the band themselves.
