"If you like any sort of left field music this album is a must have. It touches on numerous different styles and mixes them in odd but pleaseing ways. OOIOO's previous albums are both fantastic but this surpasses them both, both soothing and stimulating at once and no duff tracks to harsh you ...."

Adventurous and colourful

"Gold and Green is definitely one of the high points of this Boredoms side project. Yoshimi plays an amazing array of instruments throughout this record. The dense layering and repetition on some songs is almost trance inducing. There is a mountain top freshness to this disc, despite the heavy fug created on some tracks. There is a feeling of optimism and achievement along with the audible pleasure of experimenting while creating joiyful, accessible music celebrating nature and sound. If you're new to OOIOO, start with this record and work outwards. And if you haven't yet, check out Boredoms' monumental Vision Creation Newsun also. Green and Gold works as a nice companion piece to VCN."
