San Francisco lo-fi indie rock trio Leopold and His Fiction’s third release Golden Friends features their captivating blend of ’70s rock, country and blues. With the help of producer Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Devandra Banhart, Beachwood Sparks, Little Joy), Golden Friends maintains the spirit and in-your-face-ness of their previous albums yet finds Leopold and His Fiction progressing into a more cohesive band and moving into more dynamic sonic territory. Songs like “Miss Manipulation” serve-up slide guitar and a distinct folk country feel, while the album’s title track stands out as a soulful blend of sultry vocals and driving rhythms. With this latest release, Leopold and His Fiction have really upped the ante and set out to reinvent all the best things about rock n’ roll. – Written by JFelton
