The Vibrant Sound - Gold Digger

Producer: The Vibrant Sound

Album: The Vibrant Sound LP

Label: Unsigned

In his seminal Society of the Spectacle, French theorist Guy Debord remarks that “...dissatisfaction [with the capitalist system] itself becomes a commodity as soon as the economics of affluence finds a way of applying its production methods to this particular raw material.” Say what?! Well, take the female described in The Vibrant Sound‘s Booth debut: though she styles herself a “hippie type,” her fashionable (and expensive) brand of nonconformity simply masks the Gold Digger beneath. On their latest single, the Utah-based crew put an overtly political twist on your typical screed against cash-obsessed females; over his backing ensemble’s lush, breezy (and, yes, Vibrant) live-band groove, frontman McKay Stevens showcases his sung and flowed vocal stylings, lamenting the girl in question’s inability to look beyond material things. Not that it ever could have worked out—as he explains: “I’m a proletariat and she was just a bougie” Has this fresh, incisive jam left you craving more from The Vibrant Sound? Keep it locked for the latest on the group’s yet-unscheduled, self-titled LP, as well as a forthcoming single release to benefit UNICEF and TAP’s efforts to bring clean water to the Third World.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on July 18, 2011

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs If you enjoy/can appreciate The Roots, you'll probably be more than open to the wonderful and lively sounds of The Vibrant Sound. While listening I cannot help but imagine how much better (and this recording is terrific) they would sound right in front of me and not out of my speakers (which happen to be expensive, dope speakers FYI).

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 698	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs Incredible instrumentals, would love to hear this live. The vocals are ok, sometimes they don't match the instrumentals and sound off, but after a few listens you get used to it. Ill give it 4 stars, mainly because of the instrumentals .
