Crooked Colours - In Your Bones
WA trio Crooked Colours continue their good run with a cracking new single.. Following on from the hugely successful single Come Down, Crooked Colours have released their follow-up, very much in the sparse-followed-by-synth-waves mould set by Come Down. In Your Bones lures you in with minimalist guitars, rhythmic percussion, and Phil Slabber's smooth vocals until it finally lets loose in a wash of synth. After Crooked Colours initial beginnings of leaning too heavily on their influences (understandable for any new band), it's exciting to watch them develop into something almost entirely their own. But enough of my jibber jabber, just listen to it below, and keep your eyes peeled for the release on Sweat It Out, May 9, coming with a huge remix package featuring Casino Gold, Chiefs, Craig Williams, CRNKN, Sampology, Trinidad and Young Franco.

We are of course proud as punc
