Words: Ellie Ward
Featured here back in August with 'I'll Be There, Australian electronic pop three-piece Crooked Colours now release funky groover ‘Do It Like You’ via Sweat It Out as the second single from their forthcoming LP (arriving next year).
The follow up to ‘I’ll Be There' shows a more inventive side of Crooked Colours as they trade pop chords for mystical cuts; layering tribal influenced vocals, hypnotic loops, and driving synths.
"'Do It Like You' was written on the road whilst we were touring Europe and it was the first track we wrote that really encompassed the sound we were chasing for the second record," says vocalist Phil Slabber. "Releasing and touring our first album gave us a real sense of what we enjoyed playing live and what made us feel most connected with our crowds. Finding direction was guided so much by the relationships we built with new fans and friends we made and that felt like the perfect fit for the second single to show."
