Over the weekend, Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun posted another track from their upcoming debut full-length (out this Saturday, May 7) to their Soundcloud page. An emphatic rock-infused scorcher driven by lacerating razor wire guitars and frantic drums, “Oh Black Gold” follows squarely in the footsteps of “We Were Wild,” the first single to be released from Wildfire. I hear a lot of Metric in this track, especially in the way Lauren Gibson’s vocals maintain an uneasy balance between sultry cool and snarling aggression. She doesn’t quite have Emily Haines’ glitzy glam down yet, but there’s a lot more grit in her approach, which suits me just fine; most music could use a little more bite these days.
I’m really interested to see what sort of response Wildfire generates outside of Atlanta. The music press is fickle and impossible to predict but TTMTTS have put together a killer set of jams that are definitely worthy of attention. Let’s hope they get it.
You can stream “Oh Black Gold” in the player below. Also, make sure to check out the Wildfire cover art and tracklist after the jump.
Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun will celebrate the release of Wildfire on Saturday, May 7 at the Earl. Supporting them will be Sealions and Moonlight Bride (Chattanooga). Doors open at 9pm. $5 gets you in. Purchase tickets.

I used to be a TTMTTS hater, but I’ve been converted. This single kicks ass, I hope their cd release goes well
