Pagodas by The All Golden

On his second release for Modern Aviation, The All Golden (Pete Gofton of Kenickie, J Xaverre, George Washington Brown) finds himself working with a new collaborator: his teenage self.

The tracks on Pagodas all began as bedroom four-track recordings, performed on a Logan string synth found in a skip, a fretless bass, and his dad’s guitars and pedals.

"The two Cathy Berberian tracks, I started when I was like 12-13," says Pete. "No lie. First things I ever recorded. Most of them are from my late teens/20s."

In 2020, inspired by finding a stash of his old cassettes, Pete digitised the material and set to work remixing and reinterpreting it. The result is a lush, tape-worn sonic collage, rich with melody and texture, that blurs the lines between the past and the present.
