Olympia, WA post punk trio UK GOLD wound up on my top 10 singles of 2017 last week, and they look to be continuing with that momentum in 2018 with the release of this tough little post punk rumbler called “Off Duty Nuns”. It’s the first track teased from the upcoming Girlsville benefit compilation OUR VOLTAGE.
“Olympia, Washington’s UK Gold opens the comp with “Off Duty Nuns.” It starts with a tribal rhythm on the drums, then the bass comes in, and then angular guitar stabs present a minimalist line and the vocals join in, half shouted half spoken.(…) I could go on an on, listing every track, but you need to discover this on your own. Please trust me, this is probably the best, most creative compilation LP I’ve heard in years. Very highly recommended!
