Golden Hours - Pioneering/Wash The Night Eyes

If you think it’s been a while since you heard from The Wookies that is because they are now Golden Hours. Re-named, re-branded but still comprising the original line-up the Berkshire band intend to carry on where they left off and hit the ground running with this double A-side. Admitting themselves that their sound has progressed from what it once was the five now ooze angst whilst maintaining grace and style. Gnashing guitar gives way to tickled ivory, raw vocal makes room for subtle percussion, a cacophony of sound but in proportion, enabling an epic feel to run throughout. "Pioneering" is the more thunderous offering whilst "Wash the Night Eyes" is the slightly more tepid, yet no less powerful alternative. Such is the energy in both tracks it is easy to see why the guys decided that none is deserving of the title best supporting act and gave them both equal top billing. www.myspace.com/goldenhoursuk
