Golomb - The Beat Goes On

Golomb – The Beat Goes On
Label: No Quarter
Format: LP (2025)

Forged in the vibrant DIY rock scene of Columbus, Ohio, Golomb—Mickey Shuman, Xenia Shuman, and Hawken Holm—deliver a dynamic debut that pulses with raw urgency and emotional weight. The Beat Goes On channels the Midwest’s lineage of noisy, heartfelt rock, drawing sonic threads from Loop’s hypnotic churn to the ragged pop instincts of early Pixies and GBV.

The album dips into Spiritualized-esque haze on “Dog,” dives into dub-tinged territory on “Other Side of the Earth,” and brushes against Velvet Underground cool on the slinking title track. “Be Here Now” floats with airy guitars and sax from Henry Ross, evoking peak-era Built To Spill.

It’s a record packed with friction and feeling—spontaneous yet deliberate, vulnerable yet blistering—a fresh entry in the canon of noise-pop with soul.
