Golden Ram is Church of Sun’s third full length record in five years, recorded over the span of two years for varying reasons. Golden Ram continues Church of Sun’s sonic obsessions with the B-52s and the Cramps while adding new textures and twists not previously heard in their music. The band wanted to take their time to make the record so they decided to record Golden Ram on their own after previously recording with Mike McHugh at the Distillery in Costa Mesa and Mike Troolines at Sound Asylum in Santa Ana. 90% of Golden Ram was tracked in a bedroom in Huntington Beach with a Tascam 4-Track and Apple’s Logic recording software with splashes of other 4-track tape machines and smart phone recordings thrown into the weird stew that makes up Golden Ram. The band has attempted to make a record that listeners can party to as well as put on headphones and trip out to while holding the spacey artwork of Golden Ram graphic designer, Joshua Madrid, in their hands. Golden Ram will be through Noise Noise Noise Records on a limited edition run of 500 records. 200 records will be pressed on completely random colored vinyl while the remaining 300 will be pressed on black vinyl.
