Music Menu Fool's Gold at the Filmore tonight (5/16/2012)

Posted By on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 12:09 PM

FOOL'S GOLD This L.A.-by-way-of-Israel outfit led by guitar wiz (and Beach House producer) Lewis Pesacov and singer/lyricist Luke Top began life as one of those mega-member open-ended collectives with its eponymous '09 debut. The band has since trimmed down to a quintet, and the increased focus resulted in one of last year's best summer listens, Leave No Trace. Blending Afro-beats, island vibes and the occasional new wave synth (and unlike the Hebrew of the debut, lyrics in English - except for the best track, "Tel Aviv"), Fool's Gold trods similar territory to Vampire Weekend's exotica and the pulsing dance beats of El Guincho - only Fool's Gold remembers that hooks matter. Opening for hipster hippies Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. $33 The Fillmore.
