The brilliance of Deb Googe and Cara Tivey can be witnessed if spot either of their names on a record’s sleeve credits!

Deb joined My Bloody Valentine during its ascent to legend, filled a temporary void in Primal Scream, aids in Thurston Moore's late-period artistic high, formed Snowpony with Stereolab’s Katharine Gifford and plays bass in ex-Fall guitarist Brix Smith’s all-female band.

Cara’s may be best known as a longtime Billy Bragg collaborator, but she’s played with an array of other outstanding artists, among them Everything But The Girl, Blur, Lilac Time, Au Pairs and the greatest living genius of the West Midlands, Robert Lloyd of Nightingales fame. Incredibly, despite decades of stellar work, neither Deb nor Cara has ever released an album under their own names until now with The Golden Thread, their full-length debut, made under the name da Googie + Cara Tivey. The album was wholly recorded in Deb’s home studio and performed exclusively by the duo.
