ScoutMD profiles "Listen Lover" from All Is Golden
This album is full of sunny 1970’s pop music, even though it was just released a week or so ago. Standout tracks, in my opinion, include today’s tune, “Good Friends Have Gone”, “When I’m On The Rocks”, “Say It All Night”, and “I Think So”, among others. Continue reading

Review Stalker hails All Is Golden
The early description of 70′s icons like Randy Newman, Jackson Browne and Glen Frey come to mind when listening to Pronto’s debut All Is Golden. Under the analog edge is a indie band playing retro, sparse and working to let the core of the song bring it on home like a inspired yelling carpediem. No massive amounts of compression, comfortable sweaters, or studio trickery can fool the good song radar. The tracks are purposely sparse with just enough musical layers to keep it honest and golden.
