THE GOLD NEEDLES - Supernature

British guitar pop veterans THE GOLD NEEDLES return with a new single that's both a throwback to their origins and a look ahead at a new album to come before the end of 2025 from Big Stir Records. “Supernature”, a lush new offering from the Kingston-Upon-Hull band (and an irresistible indie hit-to-be), debuts on all streaming services May 2, accompanied by an Official Music Video see release just before the street date. It's up for pre-order now.

THE GOLD NEEDLES – Simon Dowson (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dave Burbage (lead and rhythm guitars), Mark English (keyboards, backing vocals), Carl Slaughter (bass guitar, harmony vocals) and Will Jones (drums) – slow things from their prior hit indie single, “I Don't Know About That”, a pop rock dispatch that served as their debut for Big Stir Records last fall. Still laden with instantly memorable hooks, “Supernature” is something entirely different: a swirling and stately affair that traces its origins back to the very genesis of the band a decade ago. Mark English tells the tale:

“At THE GOLD NEEDLES' inception as a band in 2015, there were three songs on the table for consideration. Firstly, the track 'Pearls', which became the first album’s title track. Then there was a song called 'Fifteen Gold Needles' which, despite being a live favourite tied directly to the band's name, is still unrecorded! Finally, there was this song, 'Supernature', which has remained uncommitted to tape…until now. The band wanted to leave it until the time felt right, and a decade down the line is the time!”
