My Gold Mask on Daytrotter

Posted on:

Daytrotter has posted their session with My Gold Mask. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from the duo featuring the dynamic sounds of Gretta Rochelle, but loved hearing tracks from their 2010 EPs "A Million Miles (From Where We Were Last)" and "A Thousand Voices". The duo actually recorded the session back in October 2010, but it is still a great listen.

My Gold Mask also just released a new video for the “Violet Eyes (Baryshnikov Remix)”.
