Emily Gold

Emily Gold is an LA-bred singer and songwriter. A story teller with a rock ‘n’ roll heart, Emily creates lush, atmospheric soundscapes in the vein of 90’s shoegaze and dream pop bands (My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins) alongside more contemporary alt-rock artists.  In so doing she creates a dynamic stylistic range that is both a nod to her influences and uniquely her own. The fuzz and grit of her guitar-driven music is only overpowered by the beauty of her vocals.

Gold stems from an impressive lineage including her late father Andrew Gold (who wrote the pop hit-turned-Golden Girls theme song “Thank You For Being A Friend”), Grandmother Marni Nixon (coined “The Voice of Hollywood” for providing the singing voice for starlets such as Natalie Wood in “West Side Story”) and her composer grandfather Ernest Gold (who won numerous awards including an Oscar for his score from the movie Exodus).

Gold’s debut LP, Recluse, was released in 2015. Graham Gouldman of 80’s Brit pop group 10CC stated that Recluse “has such a haunting mood” and that “it is most importantly, original sounding”. Free Bike Valet (nominated by L.A. weekly for best music blog for their 2013 web awards) premiered Gold’s single off the LP, calling it an “unapologetic salute to the ’90s.” Recluse was released in July 2015 to warm reception from national college and public radio and national music blogs. Yay! LA magazine did a raving review of the album, stating it is “some of the most enveloping and textural indie rock one might hope to hear” as did local music blog The Bait Shop who stated, “The album in its entirety will take you afloat into a hazy, spaced out universe where you’ll find tranquility amongst the nebulas “. The album was further released on tape cassette via Wiener Records.

Gold’s band continues to garner attention with their live performance currently focused on the east side of LA.”
