It's safe to say that after 30 years, any statute of limitations on parodying monumental events in rock history has expired. Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz was released to the public in 1978. The documentary was a record of The Band's (original lineup) farewell concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. The Can-Am rockers were joined on...

The Old Soul — Gold

Luca Maoloni, the brains behind The Old Soul's music, is garnering more and more comparisons to Brian Wilson, and it's becoming evident why. Gold, the second disc from the Toronto-based collective (if you don't count their 2006 tour album She's Got Party Davis Eyes — and Maoloni doesn't), is a definitive statement from The Old Soul that bigger is...

The Old Soul — The Old Soul

It's anyone's guess as to why Universal took a chance on The Old Soul. The group's sophomore release doesn't have a single and it's far from mainstream. Instead, the band offer a fucked-up view of pop music by blending all sorts of genres — indie rock, Beach Boys surf-pop, Stars-ish horns and a touch of ELO — to create an odd cacophony of sounds...

Fearless Stoner Popsters Get More Polished On New Album It’s hard to avoid the feeling you’ve been wasting your life after having a conversation with The Old Soul’s founder and primary member, Luca Maoloni. As if it weren’t enough that he wrote and played nearly every note on the new Old Soul album, Gold, he also found the time to start...

It Doesn't Take Long For The Old Soul To Find Gold

"Next time around will be even more retarded." This is the claim that multi-instrumentalist and core The Old Soul member Luca Maoloni printed in the liner notes of his band's self-titled debut disc when it was reissued in 2005. Maoloni warmed up his chops last year with an EP called She's Got Party Davis Eyes, but now the time has...

The Old Soul + The Alan Parsons Project = Rock Odyssey?

When Luca Maoloni's band, White Star Line, ceased to exist, he decided to just give it a go on his own and make his own record. With the help of producer Andy Magoffin, he laboured for more than a year-and-a-half, playing all the instruments himself, to put out what would become the debut album from The Old Soul. "I pressed up 1,000 albums...
