The Golden Hour by Firewater
The Golden Hour is an album by Firewater, released in 2008. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Borneo”, on 3 lists with a best position of #47.
The Golden Hour, released on Bloodshot Records in 2008, is the work of Firewater, the restless New York outfit Tod A. founded in 1995 after his previous band, Cop Shoot Cop, fell apart. The band calls what it does world punk, and that's about right: punk-rock drive shot through with cabaret swagger, ska bounce, jazz and folk, and above all the reeling rhythms of klezmer and gypsy music from Eastern Europe.
It came between Songs We Should Have Written and International Orange!, and "Borneo" is the song that caught on. It's the kind of wild, border-hopping mix that won Firewater a following on American college radio and in Europe.
