The Colour is yet another band from Los Angeles that is trying to make a big splash on a major label. It feels like we’ve all heard this story before, but before you pass judgment, hear me out.
I got a teaser EP from the band a few months ago and recently received their debut full-length Between Earth & Sky in my mailbox. Overall, the album comes across like a strange cross-pollination of Black Crowes-esqe southern rock and darkly brooding new wave a la Joy Division/Interpol. An unlikely combo that (in this case) goes together like ravers and glow sticks and is weirdly palatable in the same way that MMJ’s Z is. It’s not that good, but what is? The lead single (perhaps?) “Devil’s Got A Holda Me” steals a page straight from the Zeppelin songbook, and that ain’t so bad either.
Between Earth And Sky is due out Feb. 6th on the EMI/Rethink Label. Peep these songs in the meantime.
