{"product_id":"saccades-golden-days","title":"Saccades - Golden Days","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaccades\u003c\/strong\u003e, the solo project of \u003cstrong\u003eNicholas Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e — one half of the acclaimed electronic duo \u003cstrong\u003eThe KVB\u003c\/strong\u003e — returns with the new album \u003cem\u003eGolden Days\u003c\/em\u003e, released on 2nd October 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfluenced by music from across the globe, \u003cem\u003eGolden Days\u003c\/em\u003e draws particular inspiration from crate-digging discoveries: obscure psychedelic music and rare soul records from the 1960s and ’70s. The album also takes cues from contemporary artists including \u003cstrong\u003eAir\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKhruangbin\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDarkside\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJack J\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA strong sense of hauntology runs throughout the record, particularly in its atmospheric effects, hypnotic loops and woozy production. These elements also nod towards Wood’s early solo project \u003cstrong\u003eDie Jungen\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the album’s deliberately hazy character creates the feeling of a half-forgotten dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, \u003cem\u003eGolden Days\u003c\/em\u003e is romantic and introspective, leaning into the outsider perspective that has remained a constant across all of Wood’s musical projects. It is the most laid-back Saccades record to date, placing deep bass grooves at the forefront while making greater use of shimmering acoustic guitars than previous releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Golden Days was influenced by music from across the globe, but particularly by digging through obscure psych and rare soul records from the ’60s and ’70s,” explains Wood. “There is a big hauntological feeling to the album, especially in the use of effects and loops, which is also a nod back to my early solo project Die Jungen. The production has a more deliberately hazy feel this time, giving it the atmosphere of a half-forgotten dream.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood introduced Saccades in 2017 with a self-titled debut album, departing from the dark, driving soundscapes of The KVB to embrace stripped-back psychedelic melodies, bedroom-pop intimacy and vintage-inspired songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe project’s follow-up, \u003cem\u003eFlowing Fades\u003c\/em\u003e, arrived in April 2021 and was accompanied by a UK tour. On the album, Wood expanded the Saccades palette by incorporating elements of yacht rock and vintage synthesizers while maintaining the project’s relaxed, carefree character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaccades returned in 2023 with \u003cem\u003eLand of the Hearth\u003c\/em\u003e, a more electronic and Balearic-leaning record that retained the blissed-out qualities for which the project had become known. The album wove together sun-soaked atmospheres with subtle undercurrents of tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, Wood unveiled a series of Saccades singles, including \u003cem\u003eSightseer\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGreek Fire\u003c\/em\u003e, exploring a more lo-fi pop direction with pronounced hauntological influences. Blending woozy, nostalgic production with an ethereal and introspective core, these tracks laid the foundations for the immersive world of \u003cem\u003eGolden Days\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unlimited Dream Records","offers":[{"title":"Bone Colour Vinyl LP","offer_id":58768770400601,"sku":"SDZ-49809","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/REP_20260804_1608_151152_535_v_5053760151265_002.jpg?v=1785857590","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/saccades-golden-days","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
