It seems that Vancouver Island has become a breeding ground for great bands lately. A prime example is Colourbook. For the past few months their self-titled album has been in heavy rotation at my house, in my headphones, at my work, and just about anywhere else I could possibly listen to music. I simply cannot say enough good things about this band. Their songs are just so fucking great. Each one a ride that takes you up and then brings you slowly back down again while managing to leave you high. They accomplish so much: great use of many instruments, fantastic tempo changes, beautiful vocal harmonies, and the list could go on and on. There is great depth to the music, so much so that you could listen to the songs over and over again for a long time (like the amount of time it takes to have a shower, cook dinner, eat dinner, and then write a blog post on colourbook) and still want to listen once more.
In case you haven’t noticed, I really like Colourbook.
You will too.
