Melbourne-raised, New York based act Gothum and the Noise Pollution have given me goosebumps with their stellar new folk single “The Curse of the True Romance.”
This doesn’t sound like a debut single. It’s far too confident for that. The lyrics about the constant interplay between the heart and head during a long distance breakup really resonate.
“It’s about loving someone with no logical step forward because life is sending you in different directions. Hollywood and society tell us that love can conquer all, but sometimes the circumstances are set against you, sometimes love is not enough.” Gothum explained.
Those lyrics come from the heart and Gothum’s own experiences letting go of someone special while pursuing his musical dreams in the United States. The song was recorded, mixed, and mastered here at Melbourne’s Sonic Fingerprint Studios.
If Gothum and the Noise Pollution can release songs this good at the start of their musical journey, I can’t wait to hear what comes next.
