Approved: Colours – Drip Haze
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 18 January 2012
‘Indie’ bands may not have fared particularly well of late (if The Guardian’s death-toll estimation is to be believed, that is), but reunited London quartet Colours are striving on nonetheless, making for The Maccabees/Wild Beasts’ pleasant-seeming pastures in which critical acclaim is synonymous with sales.
A leisurely upsurge of locomotive drums and vague psych vocals, ‘Drip Haze’ is a track shares its name with the band’s new three-song EP, which happens to be available for pre-order prior to its limited seven-inch release. It’ll be distributed by the band’s own label – they’re also keepers of DIY hive Marshall Teller Records (Gross Magic, The History Of Apple Pie, and The Vaccines’ debut single) on 27 Feb.
Next slated to appear on 28 Feb at Stoke Newington’s The Drop, Colours are to co-host a release party with local peers Sexbeet at The Shacklewell Arms on 2 Mar. In the meantime, stream ‘Drip Haze’ here:
