Its hard to tag this band around these parts, because the Fool’s Gold crew we usually link to and write about is entirely different. The one playing Holocene next weekend, however, is out to prove that there is room enough on this earth for the both of them. Beyond their name, there’s not a whole lot of commonality between the two collectives.

Though both are worldly, the one i’m currently interested in just released an excellent new record on IAMSOUND. Their myspace lists 10 members in the band, and for how much they’ve got going on in each of their self-titled album’s songs, this number seems justified. Singing primarily in Hebrew makes Fool’s Gold an odd match up for Metronomy, who seem interested in only the simplest forms of the english language. In listening to their album, however, the match up becomes less and less a stretch. Certainly they could hold their own to the danceability of Metronomy. And where Metronomy have synchronized dancing to watch, Fool’s Gold have 10 different people. If nothing more this show promises to be at every moment entertaining.

Don’t miss Fool’s Gold this time around, or you’ll have to wait all the way until December to catch them again.
