  • After 11-Year Hiatus, Niagara, ON’s A Sea of Gold and Burgundy Shares ‘Ghosts In These Walls’ EP

After an 11-year hiatus, Niagara Falls, Ontario favorites A Sea of Gold and Burgundy returns with the new EP Ghosts In These Walls, a four-song testament to friendship, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of music. While founding members Carl David Onofrio, Aaron Berger (Blue Stars, BBG, Perpetual Peace Project), and Nathanial Goold (Blackflies, BBG, Electric Wildlife) never stopped writing and performing as members of different bands, the pandemic, along with the sudden death of their former manager, led the group to realize their unique musical chemistry anew. With nearly twenty album credits between them, Ghosts In These Walls is the group's first release in eleven years.

When traditional venues shut down amid the COVID pandemic, the seasoned multi-instrumentalists re-met at a mutual friend’s house and began to jam together, quickly rekindling the creative sparks that fueled their earlier 2000 incarnation. Soon after, they were tapped to perform at a memorial for their former manager Robin Morse.  They officially reunited as A Sea of Gold and Burgundy in March of 2022, performing their first public show in more than a decade.

Buoyed by fan requests and recognizing how special such musical bonds can be, it wasn’t long before the trio went back into the studio.  Produced by Pete Haverkamp and financed by the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Fund, the resulting four-song EP finds the trio older, wiser, and reenergized.

“Ghosts In These Walls,” a strummed ode to the healing power of solid friendship, shimmers with Berger, Goold and Onofrio’s seasoned harmonies and unrushed playing.  “Palace of Fates” expresses a more secular view on the mystical, informed by Goold’s growing up — and out of — performing faith-based music. “Lady” is at once upbeat and plaintive, uplifted by piano and tambourine as the trio stretches out the chorus in tight harmony. “Midnight Rain,” the song that Morse once requested to be played at his memorial and which ultimately brought the group back together, plumbs the heart of a late-night thinker as they move toward a state of acceptance.
