Golan began formation back in 2014, the result of a chance meeting between future members in Havana. Six years down the line and the group has reached five members, without sacrificing integrity of their production or cutting down on risk and creativity. At this point Golan is practically a community of sound, with connections spreading to the event organisers and labels they’ve worked with.
Any attempt at a full summary of Golan’s sound would lack detail, but key elements include classical influence, vibes of electro-pop, minimal and vocal sampling. Regardless, their group size means no shortage of experience or talent, and if that simultaneously leads to instances of artistic conflict in the creative process, it certainly doesn’t appear in the final product.
Despite rapidly making waves, and even receiving Sunete magazine’s ‘Best Electro’ award the same year the band was established, Golan has taken their development at steady pace. Their first EP came in 2016, and it wasn’t until a year later that their first LP ‘Intro’ was released.
It follows that the upcoming 2nd album is highly anticipated, the first track of which will be made public on April 24th; ‘Anima’ is song that looks inward to inescapable thoughts, lifted by vocals which drift between subtle beats.
