Gold Fever

The follow-up to 'Homewrecker' (the debut album Little Hurricane self-released in 2011), 'Gold Fever' busts open its predecessor's rootsy blues-rock with an Americana-influenced sense of storytelling, a disarming ease with breezy melody, and a broader sonic palette. At turns stark and lushly textured, the album draws much inspiration from Tone and C.C.'s frequent getaways to the desert and their shared love of Salvation Mountain, the Salton Sea-as well as Little Hurricane's use of analog equipment.

Formed in 2010 and fast recognized as a killer live act, Little Hurricane devoted two years to the creation of 'Gold Fever'. While the album has a heart-on-sleeve honesty that's deeply intimate, it also delivers a slew of songs huge in sound and scope.
