The evolution of White Hex has been a fascinating one. Rising from the primordial rock swamp of earlier band Slug Guts, Tara Green and Jimi Kritzler offered a distinctly dark and textured post punk sound on their White Hex debut 'Heat'. 'Gold Nights', in contrast, finds a new expression for the duo in the sonic palette of early electronic music and new wave. The result is an intriguing and impressive mix of vibrant synth pop anthems, and industrial disco dirges.
