[Release page] A unique rising force in the colorful and ever expanding ambient electronica realm, UK based Marconi Union has released some of the last decade’s most interesting and enchanting music. Once a duo, this well-oiled machine is now a three piece band and back with another work of fine craftsmanship, full of emotion, atmosphere and originality. With its sedative hypnotic pulses and lush layers of seductive electronics and evocative guitars, Different Colours will win over the hearts of ambient aficionados and all kinds of new sonic worlds seekers across our little planet.
An imagination stimulator, a soul arouser, Different Colours flows like a mysterious peaceful lake that hides something luminous and enchanted in its depths, something that often comes up to the surface, casts a spell, and disappears. The nocturnal, urban kind of charm that characterizes Marconi Union is very much present on Different Colours, so it’s perfect for late-night listening sessions. You can feel that the trio pays so much care and attention to every sound, it is strongly felt in every texture, and in every movement. Different Colours will keep you captivated from the first second until the last. This is definitely the band’s most dynamic and accessible work to date.
While a lot of bands start to sound a bit recycled after a couple of albums, Marconi Union manages to do the exact opposite. Always sounding fresh, the Marconi Union guys constantly keep developing and deepening their sound and style without losing their cinematic, concept-driven magic. Different Colours is soulful and special. If you never heard of Marconi Union before, it will probably turn you into a fan. It’s intoxicating, it’s addictive, it’s hauntingly beautiful—it’s Marconi Union.
Different Colours is available on Just Music. [Release page]
