About the tracks
Like all groups, The Gold Supply been influenced by hundreds of bands and musicians over the years, and we’ve put this playlist together to show some of the main culprits. There are some great artists and acts included here across the 21 songs and we’ve probably consciously and unconsciously ripped off all these at some point.
If I had to choose just one album to include it would have been Spiritualized’s Live at the Albert Hall. It’s such a hugely ambitious record: multiple styles, varying dynamics, lots of layers but with some great grooves and chorus sections. If you take a look through the playlist, I think that’s a common theme in all the songs we’ve selected.
I think more than most bands, we’re also influenced strongly by films and film soundtracks. We’re huge fans of all those Nordic crime thrillers and that weird, dark mood that they brilliantly capture. We have quite a cinematic view of music and during the writing process we often talk about what a song might “look” like – what kind of film scene would our song go with.
This playlist could have been much longer of course, and I feel sure we’ve missed some obvious tracks that we should have included. Maybe we’ll come back and add them.
