"I've finally figured out the recipe for Colour Revolt: one part Modest Mouse, one part The Walkmen, one part Sparklehorse, and one part whatever the heck you want--yields endless servings. These guys are quite possibly the most schizophrenic band on the scene right now. Just when you think you've got them tagged as another whiney whispering Emo outfit with tracks like "A New Family" or "Mattresses Underwater", they transform into an offshoot of Sparta with a gritty and raw rock-out like "Circus." Now tunes from this new album, like "A Siren" and "Naked and Red," easily rank among the best music of the year so far. They're currently touring in support of this CD too, which, it bears noting, is on the revered Fat Possum label (a stream of their eponymous EP is available on their website, by the way. Check it out!)
