Red Gold is an EP by the experimental rock band Red Krayola, released in 2006 by Drag City. [4]
Perfect Sound Forever called the album "a hoot," writing that "it's as accessible as any RK record, which is to say, the music's incredibly catchy once you've listened to it five times." [5] Tiny Mix Tapes called it "a curiosity that, while highly uneven, is worth seeking out if for no other reason than its sheer eccentricity." [3]
All lyrics are written by Mayo Thompson; all music is composed by The Red Krayola
