The Golden DregsFounded in Falmouth, Cornwall, in 2013, The Golden Dregs is the project of Benjamin Woods, a songwriter and producer currently residing in South London. From bleakly baritone one-man-band to an all–singing–all–dancing seven-piece, The Golden Dregs can take many forms – but is always underpinned by Wood’s lyrical prowess and distinctive point of view, as observed across his four album to date; Lafayette (2018), Hope Is For The Hopeless (2019), On Grace & Dignity (2023) and Godspeed (2025).
The Golden Dregs’ fourth album saw Woods return his attention to London; where On Grace & Dignity (4AD) held up a light to and lamented a certain kind of rural experience based on Woods’ hometown in Cornwall, Godspeed narrates the high highs and low lows of urban living. The hooks are constant — hear “Perfume”, “The Company of Strangers”, Stranglers-esque cut “If You’d Seen Him” — but rarely resort to familiar tropes, leaving room for unpredictable turns.
