Goldheart Assembly
Last Decade/going Down Well
GOLDHEART ASSEMBLY are comprised of five young men who live in London Town. They consist of Jake Bowser (keyboards, vocals), James Dale (vocals, bass), Nicky Francis (drums, vocals), Thomas Hastings (guitar, vocals) and John Herbert (vocals, guitar). In the next four months they will be touring Europe with BLACK MOUNTAIN, touring the UK with WE ARE SCIENTISTS in November and touring the UK again again with BAND OF HORSES in early 2011. In the midst of all this languidly frantic live activity GOLDHEART ASSEMBLY will be releasing 'The Last Decade'. This will be the quintet's fourth single, and their third on fierce panda since the launch of their lovingly acclaimed 'Wolves & Thieves' album in the spring. The single version of 'The Last Decade' is a remixed edit of the frankly epic album track and comes backed with the previously unreleased and distinctly effervescent live 'favourite' 'Going Down Well'. This fruity burst of GOLDHEART activity follows an already rollicking 2010 for the ASSEMBLY thus far. The summertime alone saw them lose a guitarist but make new friends a'plenty in the fields of Albion as they took their sometimes-mellow-ocassionally-manic alt.folk.rock sounds to Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds, and many other festivals. Indeed, it was frontman Ben Bridwell from BAND OF HORSES who was so inspired by Goldheart's shining sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals that he strode directly backstage to personally invite them on BOH's 2011 tour. Such is the effect GOLDHEART ASSEMBLY have on people confronted with and comforted by their blend of casually flawless harmonies and playfully passionate melodic outbursts.
