Today’s video of the day is The Golden Filter – “Infinity” released in 2019.
The Golden Filter, an American-Australian electronic music duo, formed in 2008. Penelope Trappes and Stephen Hindman created the band in New York City. Now based in London, their music blends art, electronic experimentation, and 80s electro. On July 19th, The Golden Filter will release their latest album, Autonomy. This album will be available digitally and on red vinyl through their own 4GN3S imprint. Autonomy is a fiercely independent project. For ten years, Penelope and Stephen have handled every aspect of their music themselves. Producing, mixing, releasing, and even shooting videos and press shots are all done by the duo. Their DIY attitude is evident in every track.
The album was born in their Peckham studio. Free from external influence, Penelope and Stephen explored self-searching and solipsism. Their love and unity shine through in their music. They defy the daily trauma of capitalism and politics. Autonomy reflects on human disconnect and British culture’s gloomy sides. The album features dark and experimental electronic tones. It combines dystopian synthscapes, EBM, post-punk, motoric electro, and minimal wave. Tracks like “Coercion” showcase mournful new wave sounds. Penelope’s “inky dream pop” pairs perfectly with Stephen’s pulsating synths. “Infinity” is a standout track on Autonomy. It represents The Golden Filter’s familiar post-punk electronics. This track bridges the gap between Panorama Bar staples and thought-provoking art-pop. Other tracks like “Electric Light” pay homage to Siouxsie and New Order. They convey a message of finding light in darkness and staying open-minded. The album’s final track, “All The Queens,” showcases the duo’s political inspirations. It imagines a new world led by divine femininity. This theme runs throughout Autonomy.
The Golden Filter’s music has evolved over the years. Each album builds on their unique sound. Autonomy is their most focused and ambitious release yet. It highlights their fearless positivity and creative synchronicity. Autonomy and its tracks like “Infinity” are perfect examples of The Golden Filter’s raw, minimal wave creations. The album is a testament to their independence and innovative spirit. Fans of electronic and post-punk music will find much to love in this new release.
