The Goldberg Sisters is the new musical project from Adam Goldberg, the always entertaining actor/filmmaker whose impressive resume includes the likes of Saving Private Ryan, Dazed And Confused, Friends, Entourage, Zodiac, 2 Days In Paris and the Flaming Lips’ Christmas On Mars. The band’s 10-track, self-titled album (on Apology Music/Play It Again Sam) follows Goldberg’s 2009 musical debut, Eros And Omissions, released under the moniker LANDy. As with that project, The Goldberg Sisters finds Goldberg collaborating with Aaron Espinoza (Earlimart, Admiral Radley), though this time out, the duo was assisted by a handful of other musicians, including Goldberg’s girlfriend Roxanne Daner on violin. The result is a satisfying collection of effects-heavy, urbane psychedelia held together by Goldberg’s high-pitched, Lennon-esque croon. Goldberg will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new Q&A with him.
Goldberg: Roxanne Daner is graphic desinger, a web designer (Ludlow Kingsley), a typographer, a painter, drawer, crocheter and a NASCAR driver … maybe. She has instilled in me a sensitivity to fonts that I thought I had until I really saw how it was done. Now I can hardly spy a sub-par “The” without nearly gagging. There’s more to life than Helvetica. Though she has often extolled its virtues, when appropriate. Her imagination is as fantastic and whimsical as her execution is clean and exact, without being cold. An artist whose few strokes can evoke worlds and ideas is, well, an artist. She collaborated with me on art for the album. She made my website. You can see her stuff here, and she can be yours too.
