ROSE DIRECTED VIDEO “Songwriter Extraordinaire” NEW YORK (Mar 2, 2011) — Golden Bloom is counting on you! They’ve begun a Kickstarter campaign to fund a music video directed by Alicia J. Rose, a Portland, Ore. based photographer that photographed Golden Bloom’s Shawn Fogel three years ago. If the $3000 is raised, it will fund airfare, equipment, wardrobe, locations, film/video equipment, and editing. Contributors can receive a bunch of great rewards, including limited edition t-shirts, a copy of Golden Bloom’s upcoming EP “March to the Drums”, a song written just for the lucky contributor, or even a live acoustic concert in your living room. Golden Bloom has a lot going on lately. They are one of five finalists nominated to receive a complete greening program for their upcoming tour by Reverb, the leading environmental organization that makes concert tours eco-friendly. Fogel is also currently in the studio recording the follow up to Golden Bloom’s Fan the Flames (2009); which was compared favorably to Summerteeth- Golden Bloom is Fogel’s soaring vocals, shimmering guitar hooks, whizzing keyboards and twinkling sounds. In fact, Golden Bloom is all Shawn Fogel. Under the moniker Golden Bloom, Fogel constructs intelligent contemporary indie power pop that rivals like-minded peers such as Wilco, Matt Pond PA, and Ben Kweller. The singer and multi-instrumentalist is so fully committed to his music that when he records an album, he plays nearly every instrument himself, tracking layers of his own vocal melodies for some of the purest and most encouraging indie pop out today. Live, Golden Bloom can take one of many forms, from solo acoustic to full band. Praise for Golden Bloom "...songwriter extraordinaire" “MAGNET is proud to kick off the Summer of Golden Bloom, mainly because this album is redolent of mid-period Wilco; lead track “E.H.M.” sounds like an imaginary b-side to “Outtasite (Outta Mind)” featuring Scott McCaughey and appearing circa Summerteeth instead of Being There.” “…runaway single ‘Doomsday Devices.’ The remix could easily slot in well with the rest of Kindercore's stable of dance-pop bands.”--Under the Radar 9 out of 10 stars “A pop record all the way with hooks that are both occasionally obvious yet totally effective.” --Tim Hinely, Blurt Hot New Band (July 2009) and One of 8 Undiscovered Bands Worth a Listen (January 2009)—SPIN "It should come as a mighty surprise then, that Golden Bloom, which can easily rival acts like The New Pornographers in their power pop capabilities is just one dude. Shawn Fogel cranks out nine pieces of pop perfection, with hints of alt-country… "[Golden Bloom] delivered one of my favorite albums of the year. Endlessly enchanting, Fogel’s ear for power-pop melodies and eyebrow-raising lyrics stuffs this album with one good song after another." --Jim Testa, Jersey Beat # # # A publicity company with the highest level of passion, honesty, and integrity, while simultaneously successfully launching the careers of independent musicians.
