The Golden Filter premières ‘Syndromes’
The Golden Filter have premièred their ‘Syndromes’ short film on the Future Shorts YouTube channel.
I won’t give away any spoilers ‘cos it’s embedded just below and only ten minutes long, so you should watch it. I don’t know of The Golden Filter or director Kristoffer Borgli would thank me for calling it a post-modern superhero movie, but I’m going to anyway.
The soundtrack is amazing!
The movie is officially released along with the New York avant-Disco duo’s soundtrack on the 10th.

The Golden Filter: Syndromes
We knew The Golden Filter were up to something!
It seems the have been colluding with Scandinavian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli on a short movie called ‘Syndromes’. All involved would probably devastated to hear me call it a superhero flick, but to me that’s not an insult. It appears to be a move about a girl with an ‘ability’ and the people who exploit that ability. Check the trailer.
the Golden Filet have also soundtracks the short, here’s the Ladytron-esque title track, Mother’.

The Golden Filter’s X-mas tune
New York’s DiscoPop king and queen, The Golden Filter have thrown their X-mas track into the mix. I love it when bands give your presents!
The duo’s contribution to ‘the season’ is a cover of Genesis P.Orridge’s Psychic TV’s eerie winter hymn ‘White Nights’. It sounds kinda’ different with the sleigh-bells and Penelope Trappes’ sweet vocals, but instantly X-massy, even with it’s X-mas nightmare bridge!

The Golden Filter’s amazing album ‘Völuspà’ is out now:
The Golden Filter’s Völuspà video
Check this video, which is kind of a promo for The Golden Filter’s amazing début album, ‘Völuspà’. The thing I love about The Golden Filter is that they are all conceptual and arty, as demonstrated by this video of looping beats, samples and some gorgeous visuals, yet their singles are Disco as fuck! And it all works!
‘Völuspà’ is out now!
Peter Bjorn & John reMix The Golden Filter
The Golden Filter’s ‘Hide Me’ single is out this week and amongst the reMix package is this interpretation by Peter Bjorn & John, or rather John Eriksson’s project Hortlax Cobra.
Atmospheric, floaty and quite experimental and featuring more of John’s vocals than the Penelope’s, the reMix strips The Golden Filter of their New York Disco but seems to keep their atmosphere and feeling of the original.

‘Hide Me’ is released on 19th April followed by the album on the 26th.
The Golden Filter’s new single!
While we are waiting (and quite literally can’t wait any longer!) for The Golden Filter’s début long player, ‘Voluspa’, to drop on 26th April we can present here a taste of things to come in the form of the first single from the album.
‘Hide Me’ comes out just before the album release and a is a great choice for lead track. Slightly more upbeat that the previous singles. Still undeniably The Golden Filter’s New York Electro Disco but with a hint if Goldfrapp poppyness.

‘Hide Me’ is released on 19th April followed by the album on the 26th.
The Golden Filter ask us to open our eyes…

The Golden Filter reMix O Children
Gloomy post-punk act O Children have had their single ‘Dead Disco Dancer’ masterfully reMixed by New York Disco heroes The Golden Filter.
Anything The Golden Filer touched seems to turn to …well, gold, and this reMix is no exception. A dark Disco dub tune that really kicks in around the four minute mark.
