Colour The Atlas
‘Colour The Atlas EP’ is the auspicious debut release from Colour The Atlas. With its staccato drums, layered synths and otherworldly boy-girl vocals, lead track ‘Snow’ is a sonically intriguing introduction to this startlingly talented young band.
Successfully blending contemporary production with agile musicianship and complex songwriting, this is nu-folk with a trip-hop twist.
Colour The Atlas are four 19 year-olds from Swindon - Jess Hall (vocals), Alex Stone (guitar, vocals), Andy Vincent (Bass) and Stef Pysanczyn (Drums) - who’ve been performing together since they were in their early teens.
Taking influences from Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Fleet Foxes and other artists who make sumptuous, deep, primarily acoustic music, at the core of Colour The Atlas is the song-writing and vocal partnership of Jess and Alex, who have an almost telepathic harmonic understanding.
