Australia's Gold Fields have been on my radar since about March of 2012. It's hard to field all of the promotional blasts that I get about new artists and albums, but something about Gold Fields' mesh of dance rhythms with familiar, but subtle, "emo-pop" cut through the noise, and set me up for a perfect sunny Summer album. Something about the juxtaposition of Gold Fields and the title of the album, "Black Sun", struck me as very clever; burning a beautiful image of the scene into my mind. I wanted to know Gold Fields story, but [...]

![CAPITAL CITIES AND GOLD FIELDS PLAYED IRVING PLAZA [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4948360_lg.jpg)
Photos by Luis Ruiz Capital Cities , along with openers Gold Fields and Lovelife , sold out Irving Plaza last thursday night. The evening began very darkly, though the crowd certainly didn't seem to mind, with loud percussion and mysterious, strobing lights from Gold Fields . When Capital Cities made their way to the stage, the atmosphere became than of an 802s dance party, complete with huge Neon Sunglasses, choreographed dance routines, pop classic covers, and matching jackets.

From blasting tunes for Ballarat locals to receiving record offers from British labels, GOLD FIELDS are moving up and beyond with their latest single ‘You’re Still Gone’ from their album Black Sun . The consistent drum beat and synthesized acoustics blend together effortlessly, generating a laid-back tone to their sound. It’s the perfect combo of dance and indie pop. The song includes catchy lyrics and a repetitive chorus (the good kind of repetitive, not the metropolitan plumbing ad repetitive). It’s all about relationships and break ups with [...]

Debut album Black Sun Out Now via Astralwerks.
I've been wondering where you were.... You're Still Gone . We've seen us some Gold Fields in concert, and boy howdy is it one hell of a show. The lights started off dark, and all of the sudden to the heavy beating of drums lights began to light the stage and two drummers continued bumpin the bass. The percussion sections in these ballads are so pulse setting, it's unreal. Recently, Gold Fields has been touring the good ole United States, with fellow band Capital Cities , who are also modern rockstars. This is one of [...]
