''Red Gold'' is an EP by the experimental rock band Red Krayola, released in 2006 by Drag City.

Critical reception

'' Perfect Sound Forever'' called the album "a hoot," writing that "it's as accessible as any RK record, which is to say, the music's incredibly catchy once you've listened to it five times." '' Tiny Mix Tapes'' called it "a curiosity that, while highly uneven, is worth seeking out if for no other reason than its sheer eccentricity."
