Time Is Golden

'Time Is Golden' is the awaited debut, and only, LP from Australian rock band Big Smoke. It’s their only album because Adrian Slattery—the group’s lead singer and songwriter—tragically died this year after a bout with cancer. He and his band recorded the bulk of the album in three days, and the rest of it in sessions scheduled around Adrian’s treatments. Before he died, Adrian decided Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Blake Mills, Weezer) was the only person who could master the album he’d been hearing in his head since he started Big Smoke years ago. Everett mastered the album in L.A. and Australia in August, and the result sounds like a Band album played by Big Star in between their first two LPs. It’s a rich, ambitious album that feels unglued from time; it feels like it could have come out in 1973, 1967, 1985, or basically any time since a guy stuck a power cord into the side of a guitar. We’re honored to present Adrian Slattery’s musical legacy here in our members store. Check out the full story here - http://bigsmoke.vinylmeplease.com/
