Ethan Gold, underground LA songmaker and music artist, is preparing the second part of his Earth City trilogy of albums about modern life — the longing for human connection, for love and thrill in the city, and for connection to nature.
Raised in San Francisco in the long hangover of the hippie era, Gold is the son of the ‘oldest living beatnik’ novelist Herbert Gold and single mother Melissa Dilworth, a WASP child of the East Coast who was then killed in a helicopter crash along with her boyfriend the iconic rock impresario Bill Graham.
Gold first made waves producing and arranging Elvis Perkins’ influential folk-revivalist album Ash Wednesday and moonlighting as bassist in downtown New York band The Honey Brothers. After a head injury sidelined him for some years, he returned with the naive electronic album Expanses (Teenage Synthstrumentals) and several film scores.
Gold’s injury stopped his performing for several years, but he found his way back to the stage, initially in the burgeoning live poetry scene of the east side of Los Angeles. Today Gold lives and dreams songs, now writing over half his music while asleep.
Several singles were released from the introspective Earth City 1: The Longing, including ‘Our Love is Beautiful’ which arrived with a video of hundreds of people around the world delivering Ethan’s song for human unity. The first songs from the upcoming album are slated for release later in 2023.
