The minute you hit the dollar store on the corner of Sheerwood and Mayer, a wave of euphoria arrives at your psyche, and Golden Donna soundtracks the next few minutes of your life. Through colors creating colors and light fragments off clothes racks and where the wood on each pencil meets the eraser heads, magic is happening, and you turn to each employee walking through, whispering “I Still See You.” Pushing around a cart, the walls dance along, and someone familiar is standing across the isle, or it’s a stranger, and they begin dancing too. Approaching each other around the wiffle ball sets and BBQs, there’s just enough room for the embrace to turn into a sugar push galaxy. Dubbed out lazers radiate from bodies entwining, looping baselines to the footwork of under- and over-arm turns, the cashier’s machine punches out a wobbly melody matching the humming of an elderly lady looking at stockings, and the buzz of that air conditioner never sounded cooler.
People be picking the lamest songs in “Time For Music Summer” preparation. On the real: Golden Donna brings the weather. And just for you, I’ll hit you with a bit of (sorta) common knowledge… Sacred Phrases just popped a Golden Donna split tape —with major realm’rs Lake Daggers— featuring “I Still See You.” Feel the fun:
