Golden Browne [2021] - Erasure [HipNOTT Records]


Golden Browne are Columbia Nights (John E Daise, Jason “BrotherSpanky” Edwards, Hayling) and Jenna Camille from Washington D.C.

This is only their second single (released 6 Aug 2021), their other "My Mama Said" was released last month, but they have a self-titled 'debut' album due on 17 Sep 2021. There is also another 'album' from them ("Bright Moments") released last year but each track is only 1 min long so I assume it's some sort of sampler/demo?.

They state in the video description that "Erasure” is a love letter to our village, which remains vibrant despite the forces that would have us disappear. We demand to be seen and will not be erased". 

It's a protest song about 'gentrification' of their area (i.e. the process by which a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, attracting new businesses and often displacing current inhabitants in the process).

I can't help but be reminded of Soul II Soul's 90s sound from listening to this!
