Submotion Orchestra - Colour Theory - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Since forming in Leeds in 2009 Sub motion Orchestra have carved out their own special place in the UK's ever-changing musical landscape. The 7 piece band's fusion of bass heavy electronica, jazz, soul and much more besides has made them a favourite of the likes of Gilles Peterson, Trevor Nelson and Jo Whiley, whilst their live show has seen them play festivals around the world and sell out venues such as London's famous KOKO. Now following two critically acclaimed albums, FINEST HOUR and FRAGMENTS, Sub motion Orchestra return bigger, brighter and bolder than ever with ALIUM; their first album for Counter Records. ALIUM sees the band in an expansive mood as the interplay between their electronic and acoustic sounds has become more natural than ever, whilst Ruby Wood's vocals continue to find new levels of emotion. Written over two years in the remote Welsh countryside and recorded in Brighton, ALIUM has been a true group effort with every band member involved in the writing and recording process, something that is reflected in the album's varied nature. Album Tracks 1. Awakening 2. Time Will Wait 3. City Lights 4. Victim of Order 5. Chrome Units 6. Rust 7. Life After 8. The Hounds 9. Trust/Lust 10. Swan Song 11. Bring Back the Wolf 12. Worries

8 years after their last LP Kites, Submotion Orchestra return with their long awaited sixth studio album, the remarkable Passed Me By. A deeply personal journey into memory, creativity, and the passing of time, it shows the band continuing to push their signature electronic sound forward, and the result is some of the boldest and most emotional territory of their storied career. The album sees the band dive further into the synth-led, minimalist electronic textures and driving beats explored on the 'Five Points' EP, creating hypnotic analogue patterns alongside the post-dub spaciousness and celestial effects of their earliest work. With Ruby Wood's always-emotional vocals soaring over the top, the tracks effortlessly glide through genre and mood, resulting in the widest range of expression and emotion found in a Submotion album yet.
