Golden Retrievers - Proud

The Golden Retrievers will release a new EP, 'Proud', the first via Rumer's recently-founded record label and production company Night Owl. The group will also head out on a selection of dates with the Anglo-Pakistani singer and songwriter throughout February's UK tour, including a date at London's Barbican on February 24. The Golden Retrievers are the pet project of frontman Clyde Wright and guitarist Jonathan Dunning, whose early material feels inspired by the sun-dappled melodicism of Laurel Canyon and the cultured musicality of 'yacht rock' � they cite Judee Sill and Bread as central influences. The pair met all of 15 years ago, a friendship formed through the time-honoured method of an advert in Loot that Jonathan placed for a like-minded musician, and they decided that the next song on the iPod would become the band-name: cue 'Golden Retriever' by Super Furry Animals.
