Golden Silvers "Magic Touch" - As I see it, there are two ways to be old-fashioned: You can either be a slave to tradition, and end up with music that sounds stiff, airtight, and fussy, or you can lean hard on old ideas until they tip over into the present tense. The Golden Silvers are doing the latter. The melodies, harmonies, and beats in "Magic Touch" feel like something I've known my entire life, but the band pull it off in such a way that it nevertheless feels flashy, fresh, and firmly rooted in the [...]
Golden Silvers "Arrows Of Eros" - Nobody writes them like they used to, so it may as well be the Golden Silvers. There are traces of August Darnell, Tom Tom Club, The Clash, Madness, and a number of bubbly early 80s pop hits in "Arrows Of Eros," but it all blends together so gracefully that it doesn't seem like yet another obnoxious throwback.

According to UK lefty The Independent , indie music is all but dead. But really its the term "indie," which lost its original meaning many years ago anyway. There are of course many indie bands still living out the indie ethos pushing boundaries, educating, inspiring and entertaining us, but the word "indie" has now become an easy way to describe any jangly indie pop affair from the pint-drinking-girl-shagging tripe of "lads bands" Fratellis and Pigeon Detectives to the daisy chain drivel of the trying-so-hard-to-be-lovely-an d-liked Scouting for Girls.
