Tiburones Tour the Amber Waves of Oregon in "Golden House" Video

There are no houses in Tiburones' "Golden House" video. No manmade structures of any kind, actually. But there is a lot of gold—specifically, many shots of golden-colored rural vistas, presumably from somewhere in Eastern Oregon. "Fields of Gold" would probably be a more appropriate title, but I suppose that's already taken. Regardless, it's a simple but effective clip, alternating between gorgeous landscape photography and artful shots of members Luz Elena Mendoza and Nick Delffs, the Portland music scene vets whose harmonies power this project, which will hopefully continue even with Mendoza's main gig, Y La Bamba, in the midst of ramping back up again.

Matthew Singer

A native Southern Californian, former Arts & Culture Editor Matthew Singer ruined Portland by coming here in 2008. He is an advocate for the canonization of the Fishbone and Oingo Boingo discographies, believes pro-wrestling is a serious art form and roots for the Lakers. Fortunately, he left Portland for Tucson, Arizona, in 2021.
