goldenbloom is back with “HEating”
Goldenbloom’s latest release, “HEating”, not only delivers a powerful post-punk anthem but also holds a unique story behind its title. As the band reveals, the spelling of “HEating” is a clever portmanteau, combining the two words mentioned in the chorus: heating and eating. This creative fusion mirrors the thematic depth of the track itself.
Recorded at Brighton Electric over two intense days, “HEating” showcases goldenbloom’s return to the spotlight with a bang. Collaborating with Tigercub’s lead singer, Jamie Stephen Hall, and Grammy-nominated engineer Robin Schmidt for mastering, the track boasts a sonic punch that demands attention.
The inspiration behind “HEating” stems from the harsh reality faced by many households today. Jordan Walker explains that the song reflects the daunting choices people are forced to make between heating their homes or putting food on the table amidst rising utility prices and the overall cost of living crisis.
“HEating” encapsulates the anger and frustration of those dealing with the relentless pressures of financial instability. goldenbloom’s signature sound, characterized by intense vocals and driving instrumentation, turns the track into a cathartic anthem for the disillusioned.
For fans of post-punk music seeking substance and depth, “HEating” offers an unforgettable listening experience that lingers long after the final chord fades away.

Returning with his second studio album, “Pure and Simple”, Norfolk-based singer-songwriter Ervin Munir impresses! Following his first album, “Broken Compass”, Ervin does not fail to enthral with a sound which is uniquely his own. Moreover, he emphasises love, grief and loss in this album which will take you on a trip to remember.
One of the highlights of “Pure and Simple” is its many collaborations with a versatile list of musicians, which give the album depth and edge. Tina Blaber’s vocals on “King and Doors” add extra dimension to the album and Aeron Z Jones’s contributions on bass, electric, and slide guitar bring newfound energy.
“Pure and Simple” finds the perfect mix between grandeur and intimacy right from beginning to end. ‘Felixstowe”, is one of the album’s best and it captures its emotional depth and employs a strong drum solo to accentuate its poignant delivery. It is stripped-back but very touching and it is a magnificent distillation of Ervin’s musical vision. “Doors” highlights Munir’s adaptability as his delicate piano playing accentuates Blaber’s harmonies and it produces a very personal feeling.
“Pure and Simple” is evidence of Ervin Munir’s musicianship, honest candour, and engaging songwriting. For everyone who values sincere narrative via song, this album is a must-listener providing times of contemplation and pure musical enjoyment.
