The Blow - Pile Of Gold
Paper Television
2006

The Blow is Oregon based Khaela Maricich who was once in The Microphones and is a veteran of the great K record label. For the album Paper Television she doubled up with electro artist Jona Bechtolt, aka YACHT. This is the first and best track from that album. 'Pile Of Gold' features a strong and catchy hook ("all the girls are sitting on a pile of gold, and the boys you know they want it they want it") and shuffles along on a restless, glitchy beat. I've no doubt that the pile of gold in question is sex, and that Maricich is fully aware of the animal desire for sex in men, and that it is women who are in complete control of this treasure they rest upon. She taunts us, "You should treat us good, you do that and you know we're gunna-uh-uh huh, share more of our goods with you" while things go squeak and squelch, and some robotic handclaps clap. Ooo I love some handclaps me.
