'Wolves And Thieves' was recorded by the band themselves in a makeshift studio amongst the old steam engines at the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum in Norfolk in the middle of 2009. It was then finished and mixed with Laurie Latham (Echo & The Bunnymen, Squeeze, Ian Dury & The Blockheads) at Helicon Mountain studios in Greenwich.
The key to Goldheart Assembly could well be that they are music lovers first and wannabe rock stars second. This means that they can be playful, even knockabout in their approach to live shows but in the studio there is fearsomely disciplined side which pays minute attention to the details of the drum sound, the hum of the harmonies…the near-invisible things that the passionate musician dwells upon. And this means that the likes of 'Hope Hung High', 'The Last Decade' and lead-off single 'King Of Rome' can sound epic without being pompous, poppy without sounding trashy and blindingly cool with apparently very little effort.
