Ethan Gold, underground LA songmaker and music artist, is finalizing mixes for his upcoming double-album EARTH CITY, a record about the modern world — longing for human connection, for love and thrill in the city, for connection to nature. Several advance singles have been released in recent months including “Our Love is Beautiful” which arrived with a video of hundreds of people around the world delivering Ethan’s song for human unity in this time of fear and separation.

Gold’s much-lauded debut Songs from a Toxic Apartment (“Best New Music” – Sunday Times London) was a deeply personal work confronting childhood trauma and the sexual ambiguity of adulthood. After a head injury sidelined him for some years, he returned with the naive electronic album Expanses (Teenage Synthstrumentals)  (“Wildly diverting” – Electronic Sound), a mostly 80s live covers record Live Undead Bedroom Closet Covers (“Unhinged but weirdly compelling” – Uncut), and several film scores including the jazz-inflected The Song of Sway Lake, featuring artists John Grant and The Staves singing Ethan’s songs, and the glitchy Blumhouse thriller Don’t Let Go.

Today Gold lives and dreams songs, now writing over half his music while asleep. Through a long recovery, he now credits the temporary breaking of his cognitive ability with a clarified mission to bring caring about the world back into the world. Or, as he says with irony, “Make sensitivity cool again.”

Shit-fi rock weirdness for the whole family!
