Formerly known The Shadow Orchestra, Talk in Colour are releasing their first album under in their new guise at Floripa (formerly Favela Chic)

By turns brooding, emotive and uplifting, slipping effortlessly between pure instrumentals and vocal driven tracks, London based quintet Talk In Colour defy easy categorisation.

Shadow Orchestra’s eponymous debut album was the solo efforts of Chris Bangs in a tiny bedroom studio. The five piece evolved out of Chris’s desire to go beyond the limitations of playing solo laptop sets and they recorded an EP called “Remaker”. Despite the fact that in the literal sense there were now more players than ever, it was upon entering the studio to record the album that Chris and the group began to feel that the project had outgrown the ‘Orchestra’ tag: they were now a band in the traditional sense. Add to this the fact that “Shadow” implied a certain darkness whereas the music had become in parts more playful, more open and less nocturnal and ambiguous the decision to change the name was made.

Colliderscope is to be the band’s debut album as a full five piece.
