 You've got to award ALICE GOLD some major respect for not only getting producer Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, La Roux, Lily Allen) to record her debut album 'Seven Rainbows', but also convincing him to do it as an IOU. Gold says that: "I basically hounded Dan for six months to make room in his diary and told him he had to pay for it all too 'cos I was broke. But he did it. I played the stripped down tracks to Dan in his studio and explained the mad band in my head. He came up with these killer bass lines and the sound I was looking for began." The English singer-songwriter has had her fair share of past adventures - "lodging for free in a Luxembourg castle in exchange for English lessons, recording late at night ("Until I got fired for having wine and joints in my room"); another she took up residence on a boat in London, as a cheap way of avoiding the nine-to-five grind..." - and she feels her random experiences are reflected in her music. Alice Gold's debut album 'Seven Rainbows' is being released in the UK on July 4th. Check out her first two singles, 'Orbiter' and 'Runaway Love' below... |
