GUV (the long-running, ever-changing, and reliably fantastic project of guitar pop extraordinaire, Ben Cook) recently returned with the announcement of his upcoming album “Warmer Than Gold” arriving January 30th via Run For Cover Records. Today Cook is sharing the album’s effervescent second single and title track.
“Warmer Than Gold” follows lead single “Let Your Hands Go“ (which garnered praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Alt Press, and more) and highlights the combination of untouchable hooks, danceable beats, and swirling guitar textures that defines this latest chapter for GUV.
“Warmer Than Gold” was made with the help of an all-star cast of creatives, including contributions from James Matthew Seven, Darcy Baylis, Hatchie, Meg Mills of Turnstile, and many more. It’s a record of unstoppable musical motion, effortlessly blending elements of Britpop, baggy, classic indie pop, and first wave shoegaze through Cook’s unique lens. The result is an album that feels in conversation with the entirety of his musical journey—a set of songs whose roots go all the way back to his childhood growing up in between Toronto and England, and travel through his prolific years as Young Guv (“I’m not so young anymore, three letter band names are cool, and I’m tired of being mistaken as a rapper”, he says of the name adjustment), arriving in the present with perhaps the best work of his career.
“Warmer Than Gold” is due out January 30th via Run For Cover Records.
