'Golden Omens' is the 7th album by Cardiff based Psychedelic collective Soft Hearted Scientists. It is a mixture of lyrical songs, instrumentals and interludes divided into 4 parts. In some ways it could be viewed as a brother/sister album to 'The Slow Cyclone' as it is entirely home made and deliberately unpolished in places. But equally it is a stand alone album that is not weighed down by some ponderous, dreaded concept.
Musically the songs are a blend of psychedelia, haunted midnight ghost folk, baroque pop, gallows humour wonky show tunes that will never trouble Broadway, and even an unexpected one off shock turn down Dick Dale Avenue. As ever, acoustic and electric guitars blend with home made percussion, vintage keyboards, and electronic underwater/outer space/nature sound effects, to add colour and texture and hopefully transport listeners out of their living room and make them feel like they have been on a short, revitalising holiday by the end of the album.
