Sugar and Gold aren't trying to bust any boundaries or prove any points, which is oddly refreshing, in a way. The bottom line is that this San Francisco duo makes sunny dance-pop grooves--the kind you'd imagine the Brady Bunch would use to choreograph a little jig.
Sugar & Gold reap the benefits of the last three decades of electronic and soul music, blending sampled beats, live drums, and an array of classic funk and electro instrumentation. With staccato guitar licks, a bottom heavy groove, and sultry female backup vocals, Sugar & Gold never fail to get even the most uptight teasers on the dance floor. Creme is Sugar & Gold's incredible 11 song debut album. From the monstrous syncopated synth opener of Do It Well through their breakthrough single WorkOut, Sugar & Gold's intention is clear: to get people moving. And through the Tom Tom Club inluenced Neighborhood and dub inflected closer Technical Difficulties Sugar & Gold stretch out and play some infectious pop that seamlessly crosses genres and boundaries
