Leeds shoegaze four-piece Colour Of Spring (Shane Hunter, Robin Chamberlain, Tom Gregory, Bryce Gibson) have lost no time since their formation last year in releasing their work. Beginning with debut single 'Next Year' (released last March), they are now about to issue the somewhat darker double A-side 'Honey'/'Skin' next month.
Drawn together as a band by their shared taste in music, and subsequent influence of the likes of My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Ride and Lush, Colour Of Spring have drawn on the production prowess of fellow Leeds stalwart MJ of Hookworms and Menace Beach, for this latest single, and there is a very definite progression detected, compared to their first offering.
'Skin' is the lighter of the two tracks, erring more to their shoegaze side - and described by the band as being, "built on the imagery of sex and the naked body. Both songs are quite personal and intimate while also open to suggestion" - and near on four minutes in length, the guitars sound fuller, more distortion and effects than before, that as a perfect adjunct to the smoothness of the vocals.
'Honey'/'Skin' is released on February 2 via Plastic Fish Records.
