Dutch band GGGOLDDD has been developing a unique sonic vision bravely exploring diverse styles & sounds and the result of this intense evolution is the new full length “This Shame Should Not Be Mine” which for vocalist Milena Eva becomes the rightful creative outlet to confront the trauma of her personal experience with sexual assault.
“Strawberry Supper” focuses on Milena’s haunting vocal delivery flowing gracefully through an enigmatic atmosphere that becomes darker as the rhythmic section gains momentum channeling heavier rock roots.
As unsettling vibes linger though “Like Magic” the instrumental ensemble seamlessly shifts from faster gritty blackened patterns fueled by the unrestrained guitar work to blurry electro layers that seem to emerge from a distant dimension.
Monochromatic vocals are floating through the pulsating beats of “Spring” naturally expressing painful feelings and the rhythm becomes quite frantic with an edgy mix of industrial accents and crunchy guitar riffs.
The strength of “Notes on How to Trust” relies on the captivating nature of the eerie atmospheric maze and the darkly magnetic rhythmic crescendos that perfectly complement Milena’s eclectic vocal performance.
On the title track the electro arrangements feel like a heartbeat and Milena’s eloquent vocals flourish through the opulent atmospheric tapestries that also maintain a cinematic darkened allure.
The impactful final track “Beat by Beat” creates irresistible and borderline feverish grooves with a fascinating combo of multilayered electronic nuances and inflamed guitar riffs emphasized by the poignant vocal harmonies.
Throughout “This Shame Should Not Be Mine” GGGOLDDD reach a striking emotional depth blending moody electronic textures and evocative melodies that defy any standard musical category and ultimately have the power to instantly spellbind the listeners.
