A lyrical masterpiece, a track which lyrically is somehow mysterious in story yet feels relatable at the same time. The lyrics in this track almost feel like they’ve been storyboarded as they’re written, which honestly is a great quality within a songs lyrics.
This song builds terrifically from the start to the finish, an excellent dynamic understanding of where to drop the track down and where to build it back up. This is clearly a band on top of their game.
The standout in ‘Strange Colours’, for me is the vocals. Singer Jye Kennedy really does have a very unique voice that just rips through the track and smacks you in the face grabbing your attention.
This isn’t to take attention away from the rest of the music which is unmistakably incredible but that vocal just is something which sticks in the mind as a listener. Very, very memorable.
I won’t be forgetting this track in a hurry and will most definitely be having a deeper delve into The Stone Apes. As I believe any other music lover should.
