Voice Coils Heaven's Sense EP vinyl has arrived and is shipping!

To stream the music and order the record visit this site:

We are proud and relieved to announce that vinyl of 2015’s Heaven’s Sense EP on Shatter Your Leaves has arrived and is now shipping nationally and internationally.

Hank Shteamer, peerless musician and journalist, graciously included Heaven’s Sense in his yearly review at Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches (http://darkforcesswing.blogspot.com/) —

"Another EP that delineates an entire sonic world. This, like the Krallice record, seems to me to be a state-of-the-art example of not exactly where music is at this moment, because nothing else really sounds like Heaven's Sense, but of a sort of speculative future of music, where pop could end up if diligence and wisdom and higher instincts prevailed. Demanding, yes, but so sensuous and pleasurable and coherent at the same time. There are hooks in "An Atrium" that have run through my head for days. If you consider yourself a fan of so-called progressive music of any kind, or of pop that aims at a kind of ethereal complexity and sweeping and refined emotional heft—I'll throw out Kate Bush and Yes as two inadequate touchstones—you must, must, must hear this. The descriptor "haunting" has been drained of most of its meaning, but it applies here."

Order Heaven’s Sense 12” at 45rpm vinyl, cassette, or digital download here or here —

"Watson cites Harrison’s “What Is Life” and Bob Dylan’s “Idiot Wind” as primary influences, reflecting how both songs are imbued with “this amazing psychological depth … a kind of vast opening to a new frontier of existence.” Here, that new frontier unfolds before you in cascades of rollicking guitar lines punctuated by extended drags of horns."—Consequence of Sound on "Parachute" by No Sky God

GOLDRUSH is much more than a simple music festival. In its championing of the experimental community, GOLDRUSH has itself become an experimental community.
