Goldheart Assembly offers the signature blend of folky pop-rock typical of an indie British outfit, but with the unique inclusion of harmonious melodies that impact powerfully in their live performances.
While not all of their unique instrumentation finds its way onstage, Goldheart Assembly manages to produce a classic yet honest performance with their huge musical variety of tracks from only two studio albums. A song like ‘Last Decade’ from Wolves and Thieves sounds like something straight out of a Wes Anderson film– whimsical yet somehow totally relatable– giving a more introspective performance. Contrastingly, ‘King of Rome’, from the same album, is more akin to folk pop rock fodder like that of Fleet Foxes, where their stage presence offers the proper class of the genre; they’ll only occasionally lose composure when lead vocalists James Dale and John Herbet harmonize to hit the high notes.
A timid ‘Thanks’ at the end of a song illicits just the right amount of gratitude for such an honest onstage performance, a band who is almost undeniably doing it for nothing more than a love of music. With performances lined up all over the UK and Europe, Goldheart Assembly manage to very subtly work their way into a crowd’s conscious, ending a show with more fans than when they started.
