GOLDHEART ASSEMBLY Wolves And Thieves (2010 UK 12-track CD album - The key to Goldheart Assembly could well be that they are music lovers first and wannabe rock stars second. This means that they can be playful, even knockabout in their approach to live shows but in the studio there is a fearsomely disciplined side which pays minute attention to the details of the drum sound, the hum of the harmonies, the near-invisible things that the passionate musician dwells upon. And this means that the likes of 'Hope Hung High', 'The Last Decade' and lead-off single 'King Of Rome' can sound epic without being pompous, poppy without sounding trashy and blindingly cool with apparently very little effort. The end result is a timeless-sounding but extremely modern rock record which combines that charm and those massed harmonies with a mischievous sense of noise and a beguiling way with a massive lighter-waving chorus. Includes the singles 'So Long St Christopher' and 'King Of Rome').
