Comments: Chicago-based indie duo My Gold Mask creates wide symphonic spaces with minimal instrumentation on their newest release. Leave Me Midnight is 10 tracks of dark, gothic pop—two parts futuristic gypsy van, three parts retro 1980s neon dancefloor. The songs are composed with little more than guitar, drums, and intertwined female-lead, male-harmony vocals. The vocal melodies are a thing to behold: they soar through the more abstract notes of every weighty minor chord, claiming broad swaths of musical space. My Gold Mask is an eerie seance, a soporific approach to a haunted rock vibe. Sample tracks 1, 2, 6 and 8 for a dose.
