Faithful to their name, Brooklyn based Spanish Prisoners in their sophomore, upcoming album "Gold Fools" play with the concepts of false identity and deception, guiding the listener through a trip between realism and surrealism, filled with evocative feelings of nostalgia and euphoria. The nine-track work, produced by the band’s guitarist Leo Maymind and multi-instrumentalist/drummer Michael DiSanto at their home in Bushwick, opens up with ethereal vocals and a steady drum beat in "Los Angeles Guitar Dream", and lingers throughout with a lazy and hazy attitude that already makes sense in this anticipated NYC summer. The band’s sound, flirting with ambient music and even lounge pop, synthesizes various influences in a rather unique psych pop package. – Madison Silvers
