With “COLORFUL LAND (feat. Ella Blame),” the multi-genre independent project helmed by bassist and producer Michael Fisher has something wonderfully different. The psychedelic electronic piece comes from the upcoming album THE ABYSS and is like an invitation to escape from reality and to enter into a strange and colorful dream.
Written and performed by Munich-born, Wisconsin-based indie artist Ella Blame, the song paints a playful world filled with violet sand, soft yellow flowers, smiling faces and upside-down landscapes. The song’s lyrics are easily understood and imaginative, enabling the listener to visualize this oddball world while the music does the rest.
Fisher’s production is full of electronic textures and energetic drums, characterized by a sense of playfulness, unpredictability and perpetual movement. At times the rhythm falters and then bounces back, lending the track a magical quality. Ella’s vocals fit into this perfectly, making it sound like she’s describing a world that is both real and imagined.
The unique thing about “COLORFUL LAND” is that it has an identity of its own. Each component is appropriately situated but the song does not lack freedom and fun. It’s the type of song that sparks the imagination to simply close your eyes.
“COLORFUL LAND” is a delightful lead-in to the adventurous land THE ABYSS is crafting for ANIMAL SOULS, with its psychedelic landscape, strange images and creative electronic music.
