The highly anticipated debut release from Melbourne musical sophisticates All The Colours is as smooth as the band’s dapper aesthetic, threaded together by an undercurrent of rock n’ roll freedom and sweet fragility.
The two years that it took for the four-piece to hone their sound were well worth it. This debut release offers tight song structures, mature lyrical content, and the occasional effortless guitar lines that border on ethereal.
The beauty of this album lies in its variety. From the warm and fuzzy basslines of ‘Shame’ to the 1950s muted arpeggios of ‘Fragile’, this recording is diverse enough to command the attention of the fickle listener whilst keeping a nice cohesive flow throughout for the patient aficionado.
‘Cold Porches’ welcomes minor melodic moments sung in a rarefied high register before gracefully lifting with the help of the mandolin in the chorus. It’s a track that makes it hard to avoid pressing repeat. Add to this are moments where the richly layered sound evokes imagery of walking in a dream with David Lynch as your guide, and you’re sure to have an album bound to cause a stir.
The band have already been touring nationally with the likes of Birds Of Tokyo and Ladyhawke, as well as gracing the stages for this year’s Big Day Out. Building to their fan base every time they take to the stage, this release is sure to solidify All The Colours’ place in the national scene at the very least.
