Talk In Colour - Featured in Episode 55
Laced with warm, distorted guitar lines, unconventional electronic percussive elements, and Erskine’s melodic vocals, the song deals in equal parts in wonder and anxiety – Interview Magazine
Stripped but soulful, finely dressed with electronics - Single of the Week, The Metro
Musical discovery of the morning - Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music
Talk In Colour are a London based five-piece who create a ground breaking combination of electronica, folk and indie, combined with live instruments and dirty bass-lines. Describing their sound as cinematic future pop, the band have been lighting up the London music scene by gathering a great live reputation and glowing reviews for their music.
The much-anticipated new single The Cell is fuelled with Talk In Colour’s characteristic blend of raw sound, quirky electronics, off-kilter percussion and distorted guitars. With a hint of Portishead and Lamb, they softly intertwine their trademark gentle lead vocals into the intricate production, which together creates a futuristic sound of now. The production resembles Alt-J, MS MR, Django Django and The XX, and it fits perfectly in the new wave of modern, edgy and unique bands taking over the music scene. Talk In Colour’s evocative song-writing abilities, hooky melodies, unusual arrangement skills and outside-the-box ways of thinking will grab the listener instantly and won’t let go until the music stops.
The group are friends with London-based band Telegrams, who provided a remix of The Cell, which was so good they decided to make a video out of it. Starring Tony Pitts (War Horse, Red Riding: In The Year Of Our Lord) and Shobna Gulati (Coronation Street, Shadowscan, Dinner Ladies), the film is directed by Tinge Krishnan and see describes it using these words.
“The idea was Richard Avedon meets Steve McQueen. And the idea was to show two people experiencing the range of emotions that couples journey through in a relationship.”
