Girlsville, (in cooperation with UK Gold), is proud to be putting out the cassette version of the new UK Gold LP, "Epigram No. 2".

UK Gold are a post punk/noise rock trio from Olympia who we've comped twice since 2018. Once on V/A Our Voltage, and last Fall on V/A My Head Is Like A Radio Set. They have a 7" out also. This is their first full length LP.

"UK Gold aims to create theme songs for the new and very suspicious proletariat."

Side Note: I realize shit is fucked right now for everyone. I've reduced prices on everything in the catalog. Tapes are $5 and LP's are $15. No codes necessary. If you can't afford these prices please DM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

UK Gold Reviews:

"Three of the best shows that I played last year were with UK GOLD from Olympia, who put out a great self-released 7” around mid-2017 that’s taken me a couple of months to truly pin down. Their take on tense, aggressively dry post-punk is almost disarmingly straightforward—Matt Murillo talk-shouts WIPERS-esque narratives of paranoia and alienation while simultaneously pounding his drums in simple but clockwork-precise rhythms, as Forrest Peaker’s jagged guitar cuts in and out as the anxiety level rises. There’s enough dissonant, coldly fixed-gaze moments in “Auto-Responder” and “Cracked” to add in a No Wave qualifier or two (specifically the punishing-yet-restrained minimalism of Glenn Branca’s guitar abrasion in the STATIC and THEORETICAL GIRLS), while “Hunter/Hunted” begins with a shadowy drone and slowly unfolds into a hallucinatory tightrope walk between calm and noise that suggests sorely underrated first-wave New Zealand post-punks the GORDONS transported to the grey gloom of the Pacific Northwest. If those are reference points that mean anything at all to you, you should be all over this one."
