Album Review: Goldroom - It's Like You Never Went Away

"There are a few old ideas, but ultimately he’s condensed the west coast sunshine into two glistening new songs, and revised two others."

Los Angeles has never failed to be a source of inspiration for purveyors of relaxing dance music.

On his third release, the Boston-native songwriter and producer continues to revisit the blissful atmosphere of California’s yellow beaches with more focus than ever before. There are a few old ideas, but ultimately he’s condensed the west coast sunshine into two glistening new songs, and revised two others. Embrace has been re-recorded with the original co-writer and breathy songstress George Maple in a mildly controversial move. Despite the blatant commercialisation surrounding this release, it’s another breezy collection.
