Gold Afternoon Fix

The Church

A polished blend of desert-dry psychedelia and urban dream pop. Shimmering twelve-string guitars meet surrealist poetry under a fading afternoon sun.

February 22, 1990 · Arista Records

Find on Amazon

A sophisticated, sun-bleached mystery that feels both ancient and metropolitan.

Moments Worth Listening For
The crystalline guitar hook of Metropolis that feels like a neon sign humming in the desert
The heavy, grinding bassline of the final track that breaks the album's airy tension
The way the acoustic and electric guitars interweave on Pharaoh to create a mirage-like shimmer
