Emotionally driven beat music. It’s not new. Some people squeak out a couple generic emo bars and
toss it on the free YouTube beat that’s been used by the entire internet. Others take the time to sample their favorite bands, and make an original beat for themselves. If the resulting track manages to sound anywhere in the range of “decent”, it’s kind of noteworthy. This bring us to Manchester, UK based Anton Golden who says “fuck it, I’ll do all of it, without samples” – and excels at it.
The latest song by the savant Anton has everything – a relatively simple, compelling chorus to
sing along to, a beat that will have your head bobbing, and relatable lyrics. “The Pain That Never
Ends” is a song accepts the ultimate isolation that is the human experience, and also the need for
growth past the sorrow. Anton’s pronunciation and stress of certain words is jarring at first, but grows on you quickly. The words; “Wipe my tears ‘cause I gotta get the cash now, no more fears but I feel it when the lights out” have been echoing in my skull since the first listen. Anton Golden has steadily gained a devout following, and he has no reason to stop. Give this track a listen, and find out why he is gaining momentum.
