goldenstar is a band from Montreal. Chamber Music is their EP. It’s out on OST. It takes them to the altar of a relatively new but already widely resonant North American musical canon: it’s a self-avowed slowcore record, a term that conjures
intimacy, slow-glowing guitars, and ride cymbals that bathe and shimmer. It’s a term fraught with the legacy of universally beloved forebears like Duster, Bedhead, Codeine, et al. A pantheon of sorts. Slowcore carries weight. But this is no retread. Chamber Music’s palette is recognisable, but reconstituted through the idiosyncrasies of its songwriting.
