Born Gold

Born Gold is the high-energy, beat-driven songwriting project of Canadian pop experimentalist Cecil Frena. Caught in an unusual dialogue between future-leaning electronic music, harsh noise and mainstream pop, Born Gold conjures stuttering, blown-out and chopped guitar peals, erratic, bubbling synth arpeggios, sparkling drum machine peals and bursts of meticulously processed digital noise. Oh, and hooks, hooks, hooks.

Pet Accessories

Pet Accessories is the fresh spawn of former Red Go Green Stop shreecher/honker Anna Hetherington, a Leeds-based musician/composer/producer. The music is produced and composed by Anna and then translated to live performance by way of a three-piece. For the live versions Anna is accompanied by Mark Parvin (previous RGGS synther) on drums and David Laine (of China Shop Bull infamy) on bass.
The resultant sonic bombardment is a genre-whoring hodgepodge of electro, indie, and subversive pop.
