Album Review: Boyeur - Gold Street

The eerie, toy-box chimes of Gold Street's numerous interludes are a welcome distraction from this duo's sub-par pop songs. Their overuse of operatic instrumentation, such as dramatic strings and piano, clashes with their tacky R&B instincts. Although it maintains the duo's overall saccharine vibe, Cupid's steady beat ensures it's the EP's best track. However My Darkest Dream really pushes their cutesie harmonising into super earnest, boy band territory. Their vocals often jar with the music. Syrupy track This Town's Too Big For The Two Of Us notably evokes an amateur feel. They play The Workers Club on 26 Jun.
