Golden Boots are back again with a new album of home recorded expansively shambly psychedelic western pop. Only 100 copies were made and I only have 25 for sale!

“Lustre & Shine

We made this album early 2025. The title and title track were pulled from a shampoo bottle… “lustre & shine” … a focus on any “good” outcome is also a spotlight on what’s absent.

The Big Takeover talks about our new recordings:

“Desert light has a way of flattening surfaces while intensifying detail, and ‘lustre& shine’ operates with a similar paradox.. Golden BooTs, here distilled to the close collaboration between Ryen Eggleston and Dimitri Manos, craft a record that feels at once sun-bleached and intricately layered… where looseness in execution coexists with a careful sense of design…Through arrangement, tone, and awillingness to let songs stretch into theirown peculiar shapes… Throughout ‘lustre & shine’, Golden Boots resist the pull of overt statement, instead allowing meaning to accumulate throughtexture, repetition, and subtle variation.”bigtakeover.com
