EARTH CITY 1: THE LONGING  || STREAM/SHARE 

LOS ANGELES, CA – Los Angeles-based artist/producer/composer Ethan Gold Earth City 1: The Longing, the first in a trilogy of albums about the alienation of our hyper-connected modern world, today.

The idea for the trilogy came to Ethan after a life changing experience. While working on a film score in New York, Ethan suffered a head injury in a freak accident. Following the accident, Ethan lost his ability to speak and do complex tasks like sound engineering – all of which he had to relearn. Last year, he spoke about the experience with GQ Magazine (South Africa) for an article about the power of meditation and mindfulness that has guided him through his recovery and to today.

He has released several singles from the album including the a-side/b-side: “Alexandria & Me” about the thrill of chasing ghosts of pre-gentrification downtown L.A. through a haunted hotel while hearing echoes of ancient Egypt and it’s counterpart, “In New York” which reaches out with romance and nostalgia to a vanished lover, or the splendor and struggle of life in New York City itself. “Pretty Girls” is about the allure and trap of perceived beauty. And “Bright & Lonely City” captures the isolation and attraction of city life, the video ads a narrative with people from all walks of life and different cities around the world searching for connection.

BUZZ

·       “A beautiful cinematic piece that captures the depths of life from all around the world.” - BTR Today (of “Bright & Lonely City” video)

·       “New York City likely has been the subject of more tributes than any other city on Earth. Ethan Gold adds his voice to the chorus with “In New York.” The gentle piano ballad is carried by gravelly vocals from Gold, extolling the highs, lows, and endless possibilities of the titular city.” – Under The Radar

·       “…a colorful montage that brings Gold’s heartfelt words to the big and small screen.” Glide Magazine

·       “Pretty Girls has quite a simplistic sound to it, but this only serves to make the song sound even more catchy – it’s poppy, yet never sounds too mainstream… a 60s pop feel to the track..” - York Calling 

·      “The stark contrast between the two singles [“Alexandria & Me” and “In New York”] only speaks to the ability of Gold to convey a wide range of emotions in his music.” – Chorus.fm

 

ABOUT ETHAN GOLD:
