Down By The Old Mainstream

Golden Smog

This project formed in a Minneapolis studio as an informal collaboration between seasoned musicians. The group gathered without a strict agenda, trading songs to capture a loose spirit that defines the entire collection.

Issued by Rykodisc, the record reflects the mid-nineties roots-rock and alt-country expansion. The unpolished production emphasizes an intimate feel, focusing on the rapport between the contributors as they explore guitar-driven arrangements.
