Remote Control Records welcomes the GOLDEN DREGS, to the roster.
Founded in Falmouth, Cornwall in 2013, the GOLDEN DREGS is the project of Benjamin Woods, songwriter and producer currently residing in South London. From piano-man, bar-band, baritone karaoke-crooner to an all-singing-all-dancing seven piece, all guises of the GOLDEN DREGGS serve as a platform for Woods’s different musical output. Under the moniker he has released two albums in quick succession, Lafayette (2018) and Hope Is For The Hopeless (2019).
the GOLDEN DREGS’ third album, On Grace & Dignity, out February 10th, considers his home and what it means to be shaped by a place – in this instance, Truro, Cornwall’s capital, home to a rare three-spired cathedral, a peaceful river and a lot of empty shops and flimsy out-of-town housing estates. Written, recorded and produced by Woods from his South London home and childhood bedroom in Truro, it was mixed by Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, Aldous Harding)who provided additional production.
Sharing a preview of On Grace & Dignity, ‘American Airlines’ follows a man searching for “his best self” on holiday. “Life is often lived waiting for the holiday and not really enjoying the here and now,” Woods muses. “It seems a strange pattern that we have.”
