Our Love Is The Gold is the third proper studio album from Paco Sala following Ro-Me-Ro & Put Your Hands On Me. Written over 4 years it marks a return to song-writing for the duo, employing fever-dream melodies and synth drunk hooks, balanced against off-kilter production that sets them apart from their peers.Intense, impassioned, guttural yet enigmatic - the album documents the process of leaving London and the empowerment a new life inspires. The opening & title track is a statement of intent are you aware of my power? repeats Garza, leaving us in no doubt that we really shouldn't doubt her.Tone set, what follows is gloriously idiosyncratic and deeply personal pop, presented without compromise or concession. Direct, confident, articulate - gone are the the opiated improvisations of 2017's The Silent Season, though the wilful sense of adventure remains throughout. Our Love is The Gold is a record of awakenings and self-discovery. Praise about Paco Sala:fragmented, distorted pop music, and its melted concoction of influences - from 80s no-wave to contemporary R&B - is transformed into an inebriated haze of synthesizer and vocals - FACT While without doubt deeply rooted in drone and forward-thinking experimental, kosmische-informed synth music, what we have before us as a result are some of the most beautiful and honest pop music we've come across this year. - No Fear Of Popthoroughly serious and unique, and more than coherent enough to stand up without tacked-on signifiers - Resident Advisor
