It’s been said many times: the only constant changes. Throughout the recording of his upcoming debut album Fluorescent Memories, Andrew Goldring was constantly reminded of this mantra.
2017 was a year of transition for the Utah songwriter; time spent breaking old habits and searching for inspiration in the mountains & deserts of his home state. In the midst of these changes, Andrew found himself building out an old garage into a recording studio. This safe space to create sparked dozens of spontaneous recording sessions with friends, laying the groundwork for his most collaborative album to date.
Fluorescent Memories marks a bold step forward, following 2017’s EP Morning Light which was praised by Huffington Post, Substream Magazine, among other notable press outlets. The new album was co-produced by Jon O’Brien (Young the Giant, Listener) and mastered by Philip Shaw Bova (Andy Shauf, Bahamas, Land of Talk).
Themes of joy, sadness, death & romance all coincide across the ten tracks like a collage of memories, surrounded by layers of sound both obscure & familiar. Catchy choruses cross paths with cassette samples, acoustic croonings meet fuzz-drenched guitar & verbed out the piano on an unpredictable sonic journey.
The album’s first single “Chemical Spirit Connection” is an upbeat indie-rock song whose lyrics recall a strange encounter one night at the neighborhood dive bar. “Stuck like a broken record, spun out repeating all your lines” the chorus repeats through a wall of warbled guitars.
Whether Andrew is writing music with his friends, touring the country, or producing for other artists in his home studio, there’s one thing that won’t change & that’s his endless desire to create beautiful music.
