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: What can be said of Sister Echo that hasn’t already been extolled? I ride along her spools like a vertiginous surfer as we self-oscillate into the early hours. I’m assuming no one else has said that. It would be unbelievably coincidental if they had. The new one’s cool too for what it is. Have one on my guitar and keyboard boards because Sister Echo can’t leave the house; she’s fragile and she can easily be taken advantage of. No, best she stays home with papa.
