COLOURBLIND DEBUT NEW SINGLE & VIDEO 'CHANGING SEASONS'
+ ANNOUNCE SINGLE RELEASE SHOWS FOR BRISBANE AND ADELAIDE IN FEBRUARY
Adelaide’s colourblind have kicked off 2021 with their new single ‘Changing Seasons’, which will be accompanied by release shows in Brisbane and Adelaide in February.
An all-consuming alt-emo dream that catches the first crack of light in the darkness, ‘Changing Seasons’ is awash with glimmering guitars, ethereal harmonies and a nod to Oasis in the verses. Lyrically, it’s a contemplative track that deals with the uneasiness of drastic relationship and personal upheaval while learning to let go and accept what comes your way with each changing season.
The video for 'Changing Seasons' was filmed across one gruelling evening, culminating in frontman Finn Cameron shaving his head as the sun came up - his locks only just now starting to recover.
'Changing Seasons' premiered last night on triple j's Home & Hosed. Feast your eyes on the video below.
Finn explains the concept behind the video: “We wanted to be reasonably naff in some parts of the video, literally having seasons change throughout the clip, which required a snow machine and a bunch of fake leaves. The snow machine is similar to a smoke machine, but instead shot out small bits of foam that quickly melted. The floor was completely saturated after each take and the camera was getting so wet so we had to wrap it in about five plastic bags to avoid damage. I’m sure Jayden (Crossing, Guitar) was screaming internally as liquid snow saturated his shed and bed, but props to him for turning a blind eye.”
colourblind are a humble, honest yet yet piercing force coming out of the thriving Adelaide scene. Taking their cues from like-minded acts Turnover, Trophy Eyes and Citizen, the quartet released their debut EP, Move Like You (2018), which has been streamed over one million times and climbing, culminating in sold out shows with audience singalongs that overpower the band. The EP has also led to a string of supports with the likes of Grinspoon, Clowns, Bugs, TOWNS, These New South Whales, Good Boy and Carb on Carb (NZ).
Despite the ups and downs (mostly downs) of 2020, colourblind returned with another single ‘Seatbelt’ - a huge leap forward in the band’s artistic progression that saw them included in the BIGSOUND50 and earmarked by Rolling Stone Australia as one of the 10 Artists to Watch at the conference.
‘Changing Seasons’ is just a taste of what’s next for colourblind, expect more new music in the very near future.
