After The Gold Rush Party
LABEL: Released on imprint label Cowboy 2.0
FORMAT: limited edition vinyl, digital
BIO:
Husbands is a landlocked beach pop band that sidequests Krautrock, garage rock, and tropicalia. For its new LP, “After the Gold Rush Party,” released January 14, 2020, the Oklahoma City band also dabbles in no wave and nineties-inspired pop, recommended if you like anything from Fleetwood Mac to MGMT, Beach House to the Beach Boys. Lyrically, songwriters Danny Davis and Wil Norton tackle what it means to be punk while working a nine-to-five and trying to find zen in an anxious world.
“After the Gold Rush Party” is Husbands’ first vinyl LP, released on the band’s own label Cowboy 2.0 Records, an imprint of Clerestory AV. Since the release, the band has been featured on NPR's Heavy Rotation and Spotify’s New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, and Feel-Good Indie Rock playlists. Past performances include an Oklahoma City release show that drew 550 attendees and a stint opening for Smash Mouth. Upcoming nationwide dates include invitations to perform at SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Norman Music Festival, and a New York City release show at Baby’s All Right.

PRESS QUOTES:
“Rousing surf rock guitar line[s] and catchy harmonizing that goes down like a crisp summer shandy.”
— Matt Carney, NPR KOSU’s Sample Size
“A highly listenable, breezy piece of summer perfection … Take all the surfiest moments of Weezer’s ‘Blue Album,’ and you might get close to the sound of Oklahoma City’s most exciting band this year.”
— Nathan Poppe, The Oklahoman
“It’s difficult to really pinpoint why it captivates … but the proof, as they say, is in the pudding, and … you’ll be left wondering how you made it so far through this dulled summer without ‘Stay Gold’ by your side.”
— Tom Johnson, Gold Flake Paint [UK]
“Delicious, jangly pop … quintessential summer pop that glistens with the promise of more lovely things to come.”
— Swell Tone Music
