Los Angeles-based electronic outfit Goldroom makes dreamy, synth based
electronic dance music. Formed in 2011, Goldroom is primarily the alias of
Electronic producer/songwriter Josh Legg, who previously fronted the similarly
inclined trio NightWaves. As Goldroom, Legg released the self-produced Angeles
EP in 2011. In 2013, he returned with the seven-track EP, Embrace, featuring
vocalist Chela. Also in 2013, Legg added drummer Nick Sandler and
keyboardist/vocalist Mereki Beach, transforming Goldroom into a live
three-member ensemble. 

“I’ve wanted to center Goldroom around honest songwriting, and in
late 2015 things poured out in a way they just hadn’t before,”
Goldroom says of the album, which showcases his vocals and musicianship.
“Classic American songwriting is something I’ve tried hard to honor
and push forward. Although I make electronic-based music, I think of this as
Americana at its emotional core. I was aching to write something more simple and
earnest, devoid of cynicism,” Goldroom says of “Silhouette”
which pays homage to Daft Punk, Phoenix, and Alan Braxe. 

The album’s title is inspired by Teddy Roosevelt, who referred to
California as “West of the West” during his presidency.
“It’s always resonated with me because it feels like a destination
past the Wild West – an oasis where anything is possible,” says the
Los Angeles-based Goldroom. “To me, West of the West is also the Pacific
Ocean, where so much of my life and inspiration lies.” 

This fall Goldroom will partner with Autograf for a major 30+ date live
co-headline tour of North America including stops in New York’s Terminal
5, Montreal’s, Fairmount Theatre, Toronto’s Mod Club, Los
Angeles’ The Novo, San Francisco’s The Fox, Vancouver’s
Imperial among others.
