On The Radar : The Colourist



It’s been a while since I have indulged into writing anything music related, but I heard this band, while looking out into the grey of Great Britain and suddenly all was well.

Coming in somewhere between Vampire Weekend and Owl City with a twinge of Beach Boys pop, currently touring with Metric are The Colourist, a 4 piece from Orange County, California.

Throw yourself in around the southern hemisphere and the same musical uproar is on the horizon and has been bubbling for just under a year, these tight guitar pop riffs and summer licks could be the ones to replace the current folk stamping indie that is dominating the airwaves.

Radar track ‘Little Games’ is a slow burning sunshine intro with a love/lust lyrical back story, duel male/female vocals make out the Owl City contrast while the guitar and bass cohort with the drums equaling a sure song for 2013’s ‘soundtrack of the summer’ playlist.
