"Gold Snafu" kicked off the Land of Pleasure era for Sticky Fingers, arriving in 2014 as the lead single from the Australian indie rock band's second album. The writing credit is split five ways, between Patrick Cornwall, Seamus Coyle, Dylan Frost, Eric da Silva Gruener and Daniel Neurath, and it plays like a band song through and through, loose-limbed and easy in its own skin.
It kept its grip long after the album cycle moved on: in 2025 the Australian Recording Industry Association certified it double platinum.
