It has been noted by some music critics that "Gold Lion" sounds similar to "No New Tale To Tell" from 1980s alternative band Love and Rockets.

[5] The music video directed by Patrick Daughters features the band playing in the Nevada desert at sunset and eventually night.

At the pre-chorus Nick smashes his guitar on the ground, at the same time Karen wipes the dust off her face and takes off her sooty clothes to reveal her 'shiny' dress.

The band continues playing in the same fashion with Nick smashing another acoustic guitar.

The fire builds and the flames create a circle divided into 6ths surrounding the band.
