UK Indie Duo Gold Spectacles Share Heartbreaking New Single “How To Make A Million”

British indie rock duo Gold Spectacles are set to release their upcoming EP in May. Ahead of the collection, the pair have shared their charming, yet heartbreaking new single “How To Make A Million”.

Contrasting the gut-wrenching story of frontwoman Amie’s experience with the loss of her father with bright bedroom pop instrumentation, the new track is a mixed bag of emotions.

“On the first sunny day of spring in 2017, my dad woke up early, got on his motorbike and headed for the coast. He didn’t come home. Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a parent. The hollowness, the emptiness, the unfinished conversations, the unexpected guilt. In my situation, it was very sudden – the news of the accident didn’t seem real. I still have a hard time believing he is really gone. I keep expecting him to turn up. Time is the only thing that can separate you from the emotion but when you stop and think about it, it’s still as raw as ever. This is definitely the hardest song we’ve written.”

Japanese Breakfast, Oh Wonder, and Holly Humberstone come to mind as the charming synthesizers glide across while Amie’s warm vocals find a peaceful optimism.
