DOWNLOAD: SOLID GOLD - Who You Gonna Run To?

While new wave favorite Culture Club's musical achievements were largely overshadowed by the antics of their androgynous lead singer, they also came dangerously close to achieving that elusive beast known as "pure pop." Minneapolis' Solid Gold has wisely decided to follow their lead with this track off their new album, "Bodies of Water," while managing to avoid the retro-slavishness that mars the work of many of their contemporaries. Once the bass and synths lock in and establish the song's woozy groove, the vocals float high above the beat and provide a light, melodic counterpoint. Don't you think Boy George and Co. would have wanted more Dirty-South-esque synth washes if they had had them in 1985?
