Detroit based Bars of Gold, the raucous indie rock quintet consisting of former Bear vs. Shark front man Marc Paffi and drummer Brandon Moss, have announced their new LP Wheels, due out October 28th on indie imprint Belly Ache Records. Recorded in Detroit by Chris Koltay (Akron/Family, The Dirtbombs, Talib Kweli, Tyvek, Human Eye) at High Bias Recordings,
Wheels consists of ten tracks of bright laden guitars and warm driving basslines brought home by the haunting growls of Paffi's unique vibrato, creating an aggressive and passionate 40 minutes that captures the energy of their notoriously chaotic live shows.
Rounded off by members of the improvisational, freak-out-jazz instrumental outfit, Wildcatting (Scott Iulianelli, Ben Audette, Nick Jones, as well as Moss), Wheels is a record more than two years in the making, as a result of the factors that inform its own conceptual theme balancing of band life with family life in spite of the wide geographic distance between the band members.Much of Wheels was written in a remote northwestern Pennsylvania cabin equipped with zero amenities. The band would travel from Detroit with a generator to power equipment, in order to meet drummer, Brandon Moss who was traveling from Washington DC.
