Video: Fool's Gold - "Surprise Hotel"

4 excellent african music videos

"Tshwanelo" - Tuks
Ken's Song - A Traditional Era from David Tree on Vimeo . First is a video from Zambia. Traditional guitar and vocals with adorable kids and grandmas dancing and singing along. Take note that the (homemade?) guitar has bottle caps attached to give a buzzing quality to the sound. That buzzing timbre is common to African music, but it's most common in West Africa. - Fool's Gold is possibly just another white American group using African idioms in their music, but [...]

Back to Reading

Back to Reading So it's that time of year again where we surround ourselves with dirty teenagers in a field in Berkshire.

The Best Singles of 2009: Fool’s Gold – "Surprise Hotel" (Mixed Media)

Fool's Gold - "Surprise Hotel"
We've unveiled our 50 best singles of the year , but that's not really a lot of songs. So, here are others bubbling just under that 50 mark. With the sizzling and joyous track "Surprise Hotel", the debut album of Los Angeles afro-pop collective Fool's Gold erupts with an exotic mix of African rhythms, percolating rock melodies, and purring synths. You can't just listen. You must dance. The fantastic fusion of music and lyrics (sung mostly in Hebrew) sends you on an ancient journey that's majestic, yet intimate--and more unique than most contemporary afro-pop attempts. Never letting up, [...]

The Dead Flowers Fall Review Omnibus

The Dead Flowers Fall Review Omnibus Forgive me Blogger, for I have sinned. I know I've dismissed, unfairly at times, a lot of music in the past few months--I can't help it, it's in my nature. I also know that I've failed to write about the small amount of music I actually have liked--surely no way for a hobbyist critic with delusions of grandeur to act. So here, without further ado, are some reviews... Mew--No More Stories... Mew have always been a prog rock group--I don't think anybody will dispute that. [...]

Fool's Gold – Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold , a collective out of Los Angeles, let the groove be their guide on their eponymous debut. The music is thoroughly African in style and if I had heard the album without any other information I would have pegged them as a North African or maybe Middle Eastern group rather than a gaggle of white L.A. hipster types.

Fool's Gold - "Surprise Hotel"
fools gold - surprise hotel [from prefix mag: Fool's Gold, the side project of Foreign Born hombre numero uno Lewis Pesacov, has too many things going for it to keep it as a side project for long. For one, Fool's Gold are all about Afro-pop, which, as anyone with an RSS full of remixes that can only be described as "tropical" can tell you, is hot shit right now. Second, they have a guy (Luke Top) who sings in Hebrew throughout most of the album. Hebrew! Can you believe it? Fool's Gold is the only band that [...]

Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold Fool's Gold released their debut album this week on IAMSOUND . I've only had it a couple of days and it's already in my top 10 of the year. Having initially been put off by their name, thinking they'd be some baggy, Madchester shit (which I hated at the time and still hate), I thought I'd give it a go as I'm a giving kinda guy. What I wasn't expecting was a 7 minute African pop song, all high-life guitars and Hebrew/ English vocals. 'Surprise Hotel' MP3 [...]
