Formed in 2001, Formed in 2001, Golden Shoulders is a loosely assembled group of musicians from beautiful Nevada City, California, led by
songwriter and group mainstay Adam Kline. The group has, at various points, included such notables as Joanna Newsom,
Todd Roper and Greg Brown (Cake, Deathray), Neal Morgan (Brightblack), Dan Elkan (Hella, Pocket for Corduroy), Josh
Klinghoffer (John Frusciante, Beck, PJ Harvey), Rich Good (the Pleased), Kyle Field (Little Wings), Rusty Miller (Jackpot),
Rob Kieswetter (Bobby Birdman), and more.
At the bidding of San Francisco-based label Doppler Records, Golden Shoulders entered Brighton Sound Studios in
Sacramento, California, and recorded two refreshingly intelligent, politically subversive full-length pop albums. The first,
Let My Burden Be, was released in 2002 to excessively positive reviews and enthusiastic radio play, ultimately charting on
the CMJ Top 75. 2004's Friendship Is Deep received critical acclaim (including a four-star review in MOJO) and inspired a
completely unamplified, electricity-free U.S. tour.
At the tail end of 2005, Golden Shoulders returned to the studio once again with producer Dana Gumbiner (High Speed
Scene, onelinedrawing) to record a half-dozen remarkable new songs to be released through Welcome Home Records as
the aptly titled KIN CDep/7" in June 2006. is a loosely assembled group of musicians from beautiful Nevada City, California, led by
