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: He is a brilliant photographer. Wary of calling him a fashion photographer. I suppose by trade, but like Julius Shulman, architectural photographer, he transcends the gig, the job. Brilliant surreal women floating in bubbles over Paris (a long time before Wayne Coyne got into the bubble or John Travolta, for that matter). Brilliant color photos. Some of my favorite color photos of all time. Perhaps in a way the antithesis of another favorite, Bill Eggleston. He made productions. Film scenes within photos. He’s why I have to get my hands on an 8×10 camera, though I will only be disappointed to realize it wasn’t his camera that made the magic.
