LISTEN: Fool's Gold – I'm In Love

The L.A.-based five piece band FOOL'S GOLD just released their third album Flying Lessons (ORG Music, 2015).

Founders Luke Top and Lewis Pesacov, both native Israelis who emigrated to America at an early age, created this musical project where converges members that played in Foreign Born, The Fall or We Are Scientists, and sounds like African-influenced Western pop with a hint of soul and a bit of electro-ness.

As lead singer and co-funder Luke Top says, "The release of Flying Lessons is a huge deal for us. It encompasses everything we've been about for the last 7 years, both musically and emotionally. It is the culmination of countless hours of travel, gigs, success, failure, darkness, joy, and the stubborn insistence to move forward and create our best work to date".

Listen to Flying Lessons' opening track and first single "I'm In Love" below.



Remember the very first single of the band, "Surprise Hotel" from self-titled debut album (IMSOUND Records, 2009) and let's pretend it's summer!
