Ahead of the release of his debut album, Astropsychosis (set for release on November 2^nd), Paul Alexander aka Two Medicine has already started getting ahead of the game. ‘Gold’ is an exciting single that puts a unique twist on the pop formula, combining harsh yet subtle synths with rich harmonies to create a deeply moving track. Alexander is as concerned with the overall feeling and ambience he creates, as he is with catchy vocal deliveries or fittingly simple drum patterns. It’s no wonder he’s being taken on tour in the UK later this year, supporting labelmate John Grant. -Dan Peeke
