My Gold Mask: BeatCrave Fav
By Candace Butler
My Gold Mask is a married couple from Chicago, Illinois, whose pop sound feels like a Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets The Cure retro dance. Gretta and Jack, both long-time musicians, formed My Gold Mask apropos to meeting at a rooftop party, deciding to play together, and then later getting married. After that, Gretta says, “everything…happened organically. Happy accidents, but out of necessity.” Jack acutely plucks his nylon-stringed guitar while Gretta’s voice transitions smoothly from the soft, pretty tones of “Coo Ka Choo” to the domineering resonance of “Violet Eyes.” In fact, their latest EP, A Thousand Voices, reflects the seemingly evocative tunes that emerge from the many different emotions and separate melodies expressed in Gretta’s vocals.
