Their euphonious sound is divulged by their latest EP 'She Was
Gold', released December 9th. The B-Side to this single 'Sunday
Sun' has been made available for pre-listening and how harmonious it sounds. Branding a familiarity to Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is
Gonna Come', the track gradually grows, slowly climbing up the soul ladder, relaxed yet retaining the capability to make us sway generously to the silky smooth sound seeping through a sepia tinted gaze. Goddard's gripping vocals start to show a
similarity to Jamie T, bringing a substantial amount of raw emotion and personal slants to a sound so blissfully
immaculate. Take all this and imagine gritty rose-tinted spectacles as this is what you get with The Quangos, real music, so beautiful yet so unpolished.
If the sound has got you dancing, then you best had know that the 'She was Gold' EP launch is taking place December 20th at The Venue, Manchester. Tickets are £5 and only 100 will be available online, so if you're interested keep your eye
closely on The Quangos facebook page to nab some of these highly sort after tickets!
