Cold And Need – Colours And Shapes (02/11/2012)
Colours And Shapes is the bold sophomore EP from Brisbane rockers Cold And Need.
From the EP’s opener Eyes, it’s obvious this young group like to have a good time; the mood is soaring and upbeat. The EP features intricate instrumental and percussive layering, vocal duplication and hooks in abundance.
Each member of the lively four piece pack a punch with this urgency exemplified in lead single Kaleidoscope. It’s Not Over see’s the band pause for breathe which allows the passionate vocals to come to the forefront in the manner of contemporaries such as The Medics.
Growing Pains is the Colours And Shapes most emotive moment where the heartfelt vocals cry “I’ve got growing pains, they remind me of the dreams that I once had”.
The EP has enough variety to keep even the most impatient listener interested. I’m looking forward to seeing where this group take this impressive foundation.
