The Golden Filter are just a couple of years old, crafting dark, airy synth laden lullabies over punchy programmed drums. When Kyle and I first heard 'Solid Gold', back in '08, we loved it so much we put it on our first dreamwave mixtape, NightWaves' Presents The Dreamwave Hour. That song represented everything we love about this kind of music. It had great production, it hit you in the chest, and on top of all of that, there was a great song with singable melodies to match. Since Solid Gold, at least in my opinion, their other output has been pretty weak. Great production still, but the songwriting left something serious to be desired.
Well, here is the triumphant return to the great potential we heard when we first listened to Solid Gold. Hide Me delivers in every way you could hope. Its emotional, dark, mysterious, dreamy. Listening to this through headphones almost puts me in a trance. Enjoy.

Heart This Song On Hypem
I think I dig this song so much because the voyeuristic nature of the song translates well with the sonic nature of the track. Its a bit dark, very mysterious, and pretty sexy. Breathy vocals are always a killer, and the idea of being watched is always a little creepy, and a little exciting as well.
Maybe you're being watched, or doing the watching online? Maybe you're just doing it from across the street. We're all voyeurs in one way or another. From facebook albums to peering into the car next to you at a stoplight. Its the excitement that goes along with NOT knowing what to expect from what you're looking at.
That feeling works both ways too. Who is reading this? Who's looking at me in my car, or on facebook? Its creepy, and a bit exciting too.
This song captures just that feeling. It'll make your skin crawl and it'll make your heart beat a bit faster too.
They're out there.
