Philadelphia rock outfit Golden Apples sat down with Paste to detail the track-by-track inspirations behind their latest LP, 'Bananasugarfire.'
, is a sweeping, delicious convergence of shoegaze hues and jangle-pop sensibilities. The songs reach for tempos akin to tracks by Hovvdy, while the band—Russell Edling, Melissa Brain, Matthew Scheuermann and Mimi Gallagher—delivers instrumental affectations reminiscent of the most rewarding Clinton-era, charting alt-rock. A track like “Park ” is bold and deeply catchy; “Waiting For a Cloud” evokes wondrous, left-of-the-dial pop rock.
Music, for me, has mostly been impressionistic and intuitive. Writing a song is sort of similar to the feeling of touring a house. You are exploring and looking and making connections and trying to wrap your head around what you are looking at pretty quickly. I also find that if I spend too long on a song, it generally sucks. I try to have the bulk of the lifting done within an hour, really, or else it is going to sound fussy.
Ultimately we added a bunch of other drum loops, guitar, etc, and built out the instruments that way. Lyrically, the song is about human potential. I notice that often it feels like people reduce themselves to one thing, or they define themselves really rigidly. Instead of letting ourselves be these incredible, adaptive, dynamic beings, we sum ourselves up in a one-line social media bio, or worse, we think of ourselves as a “good” or a “bad” person.
