POSTCARDS FROM JEFF

Suburban dysfunction and the guise of perfect lives fill the dream state of Joss Worthington’s songs, just like they have been captured from a movie – or as he calls them – postcards that blinker on the horizon like Morse code to the outside world. As a producer he is accustomed to working with other musicians but his new solo project, Postcards From Jeff, is something he can claim as his own. Recorded at his rural hideaway in Yorkshire, Worthington brings his love for Scandinavian noir and Twin Peaks together for his debut EP, seeing his fondness for melodramatic narratives realised through cinematic song-scapes; something innately dark but serve as an appealing undercurrent for the themes of his songs. 

GOLD & YOUTH

If the era of neo-noir cinema was modernised into a soundtrack for present day it would sound inherently Gold & Youth. They manage to humanise the quintessential elements of noir film, such as escapism, darkened landscapes and nostalgia, whilst bringing them into a contemporary context which draws upon the instrumentation of the 1980s. Whether it’s the light and shade of the 50’s anti-hero, or the sun-soaked synthetic-ness of an 80’s Los Angeles, Gold & Youth find comfort in the solitude of nostalgia.
