The Golden Hands Of God - Communist Party

Pop Echo Recording artists The Golden Hands Before God Conducts Incredible Magic Band & The Spirits is a band that is hard to define - on one hand, they are a throwback to the 60’s psychedelia and garage rock band scenes, but on the others, they are also early 90’s shoegazer with a hint of modern approach.

But live they are an entirely different beast, combining pure rock and roll savagery with the beautiful melody of song.

Their debut album, “Here”, was recorded in Montreal at Breakglass Studios (The Besnard Lakes, Young Galaxy, Malajube, Patrick Watson, Wolf Parade, etc.). “Here” was produced, mixed and engineered by Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes, Young Galaxy, Patrick Watson) and David Wm. Smith and was mastered by Harris Newman (A Silver Mt. Zion, We Are Wolves, Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes) at Grey Market Mastering. It’ll be available on CD and 12″ Vinyl in Canada on August 5th and in the U.S. by the end of the month. The track ‘Communist Party’ (as embedded above) is a currently unreleased track off of this upcoming album.

They’ve spent the last year honing their sound and live performance, landing opening slots with such bands as The Besnard Lakes, Young Galaxy, The High Dials, The High Strung, Bionic, Mahogany Frog, The Mark Inside, The Ride Theory, Twilight Hotel and Wax Mannequin in their hometown of Windsor, Ontario, as well as playing critically acclaimed shows in Toronto and Montreal. They’ve also taken part in the first two P.A. Music Festivals in Windsor, Ontario and opened the outdoor stage at the University of Windsor’s Harvesting The FAM Festival. They most recently played a fantastic show at North By Northeast (NXNE) in Toronto, Ontario.
