Good Night, Gold Dust

Look, I don’t like Good Night, Gold Dust cribbing an EP title from “No Cars Go” anymore than you do, and not just because “Between the Click of the Light and the Start of the Dream” is so long even Fiona Apple would have thought twice, and no, not just because “No Cars Go” is my favorite Arcade Fire song.
 
No, I don’t much like the lift because of everything else about this wonderful EP. A band this distinct, a band this thoughtful, this surprising, this melodic, this lovable, this full of heart and smarts doesn’t need a nod to the biggest band in the world to get attention, sell a few downloads, fill a few bar rooms — Laura Schultz could sing Pitchfork’s review of “Neon Bible” and do all that all by herself. And besides, you’re just setting certain listeners up for disappointment. Good Night, Gold Dust don’t sound a thing like Arcade Fire — or anyone else I’ve been listening to lately.
