Back in 2009 Brooklyn’s Spanish Prisoners took a step as a band upon releasing a free 3 song EP Los Angeles Guitar Dream.  Their well polished style of slightly electric pop rock received an acid-washed psych retouching…more like explosion actually.  It was…dramatic and beautiful.  Since then I lost touch with what they were doing…which was composing new material for a new album Gold Fools.  Looks like they’ve taken that experimental approach to songwriting and ran with it.  Gold Fools is one of “those” albums.  An album that makes you smile, makes you feel inspired, makes you want to create something as complex and epic yet attainable and reachable.  Spanish Prisoners have made a different type of rock here.  Not sure where it fits…kind of like their own self described comparison to Dirty Projectors; not sound wise, but mentality.  Gold Fools comes out this fall…so you’ll have to wait, but it’s worth it.  Here’s two from it to tide you over:
