Their relentless pursuit of such a sound, just a foggy idea in their youth, stirred by many early 90s bands. This pressed Colours to forge their own direction, one that openly acknowledges their influences, but is more like an audio kaleidoscope, conjuring a loose guide rather than a specific blueprint, to a destination that is completely their own.
Founding Marshall Teller Records has afforded Colours the opportunity to not only create the music they want to hear but to champion it too. Bands such as Gross Magic, Echo Lake, Warm Brains, Total Slacker, THOAP, Cheatahs, Dignan Porch, Weird Dreams, and 2011’s ‘it band’, The Vaccines, have all been handled by the DIY inspired label.
Colours’ latest release was recorded with revered East-London producer/musician, and good friend, Rory Attwell (WARM BRAINS). This has given them the control over their music and consequently allowed the band to produce their most personal, masterly attempt yet. 2010/2011 saw Colours really cement themselves in the London musical collective, playing gigs to sell-out venues and packed festivals, supporting bands Real Estate, The Vaccines, Beach Fossils, Crocodiles and many other London and international acts.
The new 7” will feature three brand new songs, with a bonus track available for download. Side A DRIP HAZE, a 6 minute something of blurry guitars and wondering woozy vocals. When flipping over the vinyl, OUR TRIP takes you away with a blast and surge of crashing drums and fuzzy bass, layered with plenty of dreamy oohs and aaahs! NIGHT CLIMB extracts jangled guitars and builds in waves not too far from Deerhunter track.
To accompany the title track DRIP HAZE, Natalia Stuyk will be creating a video; she recently has produced beautiful work for ECHO LAKE and THE MAE SHI.
The release will be a limited run of 250 records, all screen printed by the band and friends. To celebrate the release COLOURS and SEXBEET will be hosting a release party at the Shacklewell Arms on the 2nd March, with support from DIGNAN PORCH and YRRS.
