Golden Hours - The Letter

I just received 'The Letter' from Golden Hours and let me tell you, it’s not junk, it is a first class recording. It’s a sonic parcel packed with fuzz-drenched guitars, deadpan vocals, and lyrical weight that feels robust and compelling.

'The Letter' is the first dispatch from the band's upcoming sophomore album, 'Beyond Wires', and it’s addressed straight to the heart of anyone who’s faced life’s return-to-sender moments. The song’s themes: refusals, unwanted bills and obituaries, pile up like brain-blocking communiqués on a kitchen counter of despair. But instead of wallowing, Golden Hours sort, shred, and riff their way through the mess with the strength of desperation.

Bassist/vocalist Wim Janssens describes the song as “a punch feeling so good that some would say it was most welcome” and I couldn’t agree more. This track doesn’t just deliver - it stamps its authority with every beat.

Golden Hours, the Berlin-Brussels collective of seasoned post-punk couriers (Hákon Aõalsteinsson, Wim Janssens, Tobias Humble and Rodrigo Fuentealba Palavacino), have licked the envelope of new wave rock perfection and sealed it with a loving kiss. 'The Letter' is one track, about which, I am more than happy to post.
