Grant Olsen, also know as Arthur from Seattle based duo Arthur & Yu, has just unveiled a second track from his new solo project Gold Leaves. Christening his new band Gold Leaves as a testament to his autumnal character, Olsen has spent the best part of the last four years composing and refining his forthcoming long player ‘The Ornament’.
Gold Leaves have already preceded the album with a free download of the record’s title track which you can grab below and this week have dropped a second preview in the shape of ‘Cruel &Kind’, a beautifully orchestrated, nostalgia-evoking folk jam. Set for release on 16th August via Hardly Art, ‘The Ornament’ certainly sounds like it could be an old favorite in the making.
