EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Golden Isles - Can't Take It + 2 More

Posted 6/30/2009 8:38 AM by Hillary Kaylor

We’ve been behind Montreal-based Golden Isles ever since they were known as Crystal Moustache, at the apex of the Crystal-is-the-new-Black-is-the-new-Bear tomfoolery. It’s not just because their baritone, echoey vocals and lo-fi-grit turned old-wave recently rocked NXNE. It’s because they’re Joy Division incarnate. Though if “Jane” is any indication, their soon to be released self-titled EP will be billowing with bar smoke, Jim Morrison circa '67 crooning, and velvet twang. “Can’t Take It” is our personal fave, but it’s well-worth appropriating all the excellent, exclusive mpfrees below.

Sounds like: Joy Division, The Doors
