"Gosh Pith call what they do “cosmic trap” because, they say, “a genre is a cosmic trap at the end of the day”. But the term suits their slow, stoned mix of synthed-up funk, crisp boom-bap and dark basslines. Aware of the power of a good pitch, they also describe their latest single, Gold Chain, as “a ratchet love song about the constant conflict between the meaningful and the meaningless”. If that sounds a tad highfalutin, you could just wallow in the melancholy mire of Josh Smith’s anguished, crepuscular vocals and tremulous, tremolo guitar, and his partner Josh Freed’s spacious, discreetly high-end sonics. They make hanging out at 5am in an expensive uptown apartment surrounded by beautiful people sound somehow like an empty and depressing experience." - The Guardian
