Santa Barbara’s Plastic Harpoons return with their latest indie-folk gem ‘Struck Gold’, a track that blends reflective lyricism with a gorgeously textured production. Fronted by Taylor Casey, the band captures a sound that feels fresh and timeless, echoing the emotive resonance of acts like Bon Iver and the genre-bending charm of Houndmouth.

Recorded in a rustic barn in Santa Ynez and co-written by Casey and Ryan Peitzke half a decade ago, the track spent years in creative limbo until now. ‘Struck Gold’ emerges as a full-band triumph that marks a high point in the band’s journey. The painstaking attention to detail shines through, particularly in the layered acoustic guitars, that give the song its lush warmth and depth.

Lyrically, ‘Struck Gold’ delivers an empowering message about trusting your instincts and silencing the noise of external judgment. Casey’s heartfelt delivery, paired with the band’s immersive instrumentation, creates a track that feels like an embrace for listeners.

As Plastic Harpoons continue to refine their craft, ‘Struck Gold’ stands out, showcasing the band’s evolution and their knack for crafting beautiful emotive music. With this release, they’ve truly struck their own creative gold.
