The well-traveled LA based five piece band FOOL’S GOLD have released the official music video for their new single “I’m in Love,” along with announcing their new album Flying Lessons, out on April 18th (Record Store Day) via ORG Music. Flying Lessons is the follow-up album to 2011’s Leave No Trace, which saw a multitude of positive reviews from sources such as Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, SPIN, and NPR. Fool’s Gold has spent much of the past few years on the road, including appearances at Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, and ACL Fest, and highlighted by a 2012 supporting stint with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in arenas across the UK as well as in Tel Aviv for one of the largest concerts in Israel’s history. In 2013, the band eased out of a long, demanding tour schedule to focus on writing new material. With five years of experience behind them, this was the perfect opportunity to further refine the band’s identity and songwriting.
“The album’s debut single, ‘I’m in Love,’ features many of the elements that made us fall for them in the first place,” claims Interview Magazine.
"I'm In Love" is a joyous ode to Calypso rhythms, Reggae funk, Nigerian disco, and hints of classic American R&B and Motown. The familiar FG sound will be immediately apparent: Garrett Ray's syncopated beat, Salvador Placencia's spirited slaps, Lewis Pesacov's funky guitar licks, Brad Caulkins' graceful keyboard, and Luke Top's rousing yelps and thumping bass lines. If you listen closely you will hear the sound of a 5-piece band that has traveled the world together and is ready, once again, to make you dance.
