Collectif Mental proudly presents:
SPILL GOLD (avant-pop/krautrock / NL)
Spill Gold is a synthpop duo consisting of Rosa Ronsdorf and Nina de Jong. Together they create a danceable universe consisting of a mix of acoustic and electronic sounds in a polyphonic explosion of rhythm, synthesizers, voices and basslines. Spill Gold is an experiment with energy. The music is an exchange between the two musicians as well as between the stage and the dance floor, day and night, dream and sleep, trance and trip.
On their debut album, Highway Hypnosis, released in 2020, they juxtapose darkness and light, playfulness and control, enhancing the transcendental character of the material at hand. Based on strong pop structures, the songwriting here traverses a world of krautrock and cosmic influences at once catchy and alienating, opening the possibility for a catharsis.
Despite Covid, they were able to play Highway Hypnosis during special performances at the Eurosonic, Grauzone, Le Guess Who and Roadburn Festival in 2021 and 2022. A sequel to Highway Hypnosis is in the works and will be released in 2023.
