about

Color Tongue, an experimental quartet from Brooklyn, write songs that are as much bookmarks as they are weather forecasts; emotional meteorology. For the last three years, they’ve been exploring the corners of their attention, trying to figure out what makes them tick. Introspection meets aspiration, their sweet spot is pursuit. Their newest album 'Bealing Bells' is more chronic than chronological, a collection of disparate songs written across several months.

‘Bealing Bells’ is a three track EP that depicts the uneven growth of life. It’s a non-linear love song to our other selves. The album’s opener ‘Adult Lessons’ says good-bye to the potential of adolescence and hello to the questions that lie ahead. Adult life is deeper, longer, and more difficult. Gone are the societal milestones of youth, if you want meaning you’ve got to build it. The album reaches its peak with ‘Over The Moon’, a gonzo love note resurrected from the wastebasket. The track starts off as a playful diary entry and crescendos to the desperate plea of an alien: ’Come walk with me’ over and over again until it's conclusion. The final track “Feathers” closes the album on a more hopeful note. It's a confident stride out of the nest and into the abyss. It’s a mating call for maturity itself. Striving for acceptance of that which we cannot control, appreciation of the now, and finding joy in the unknown.

Color Tongue have been eagerly awaiting the release of their sophomore EP. A follow up to last Fall’s ethereal ‘Us And The Bugs’, a 15-minute audio/visual farmhouse opera. ‘Bealing Bells’ strikes a more serious tone. Unlike their last record, which was written and recorded in two days on a farm, this one was crafted over the course of a few months and recorded in-studio during the dreary New York City winter. It's more examination than exploration, this record is more thoughtful. Color Tongue's latest release is an ode to the changing of seasons, in both climate and life.
