The Legends of the Seven Golden Vampires: Psychedelic Soul & Trash Vol.3

 

After achieving over 120k streams on digital streaming platforms, 7.4 million plays on Tiktok and receiving airplay from 6 Music, Radio X, Absolute Radio, and hundreds of local and internet radio stations, Hertfordshire production duo ‘Legends of the Seven Golden Vampires’ are now due to release their debut LP - Psychedelic Soul & Trash Vol.3 (out 31/10/2024)

 

Born out of the burning crucible of the DIY Mashup scene of the early 00's, Legends of the Seven Golden Vampires is a production duo (Nick Foster and Luke Barratt) that takes the spirit of that time to meld genres, blow minds and move feet. Inspired by sounds that drove the many music movements across the decades and molding them together with kaleidoscopic abandon to create unique and fresh tracks. Sonic plunderbusing their way through the UK Psychedelic Rock and Northern Soul movements of the '60's through Funk, Disco and New Wave Postpunk of the 70's and 80's, through to the French Touch, Chicago House, Detroit Techno, and Electro shooting towards the UK Rave and Jungle scenes of the 90's.

 

The band also draws inspiration from the 1974 cult horror film The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires, channeling the film’s ambition of molding genres into something that shouldn’t work but somehow does.

 

Psychedelic Soul & Trash Vol.3

 

Set to be released on Halloween, Psychedelic Soul & Trash Vol.3 is an amalgamation of styles to create a bubblegum sci-fi/horror, indie pop LP. The use of samples, decks, and instrumentation is nothing new, however, Nick and Luke blend these elements to create classic pop songs with help from several music friends including James Atkin (EMF) and Eliot Foster (Good Cop)

 

Nick Foster describes the album as "a sonic exploration of all the song styles we are influenced by - from Garage Rock, Psychedelia, Soul, Funk, and even a little vocal tribute to the genius that is William Shatner”.

The duo wanted to create something that was both epic and intimate, something that would leave a lasting impression." With tracks that range from high-octane pop anthems to Spectoresque ballads, Psychedelic Soul & Trash Vol.3 showcases the band's versatility and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of indie pop music.
