Gang Colours – Invisible In Your City: New music Jul 23rd 2013, 06:00
Gang Colours has clearly decided to carry on exploiting his knack for making delicate electronica and who are we to stop him?
When we first wrote about Gang Colours – aka lank-haired singer and producer Will Ozanne – back in 2012 he was just about to release his debut album, The Keychain Collection. A wistful collection of songs built around creaking electronics, fuzzy beats and Ozanne's multi-tracked vocals, it didn't exactly scream for attention, choosing to reveal its secrets slowly. If Invisible In Your City – the first single to emerge from the follow-up and premiered here – is anything to go by, then he hasn't exactly changed tact too much. Opening with a delicate, music-box twinkle of electronics, it unfurls airily and purposefully, Ozanne delivering a flurry of lyrics as soft backing vocals coo in the background, interrupted only by weird gusts of feedback. With lyrics that touch on royalty and wealth, Invisible In Your City is apparently "about struggling with the human condition no matter what your background, whether there sits a golden crown or a scruffy beggar's cap upon on your head - we all share one mind which we can choose to use for good or evil."
Invisible In Your City is out on 2 September, while the album of the same name is out on 16 September via Brownswood Recordings.
