London based quintet Talk In Colour are giving away a free download of new track “Nightshifts” via Soundcloud
Nightshifts takes its inspiration from a nocturnal no man’s land, caught between dreaming and lucidity. Musically, the track swells from hypnotic guitar and brooding analogue bass to moments of haunting celebration where euphoric vocals swirl over crisp live drums, harp and piano.
By turns dark then uplifting, slipping effortlessly between pure instrumentals and vocal driven tracks, Talk In Colour defy easy categorisation. It’s no surprise that the band cite influences as far ranging as Lamb, Battles, The XX and Berlin-era Bowie, with a nod to Afrobeat and Alice Coltrane along the way. Together, the band blends electronic and organic instrumentation into a blistering aesthetic.
Nightshifts forms the backing to one of the more tender moments in new British feature film Junkhearts, due for cinematic release on November 4th, with a soundtrack scored by Chris Bangs from the band. This dark psychological thriller, set in the gritty underbelly of London’s east end, tells the story of Frank – a reclusive former soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder – who has his whole world turned upside down when he comes to the rescue of young runaway Lynette.
Junkhearts stars Eddie Marsan, Tom Sturridge, Romola Garai and Candese Reid. The film premieres on Friday 21st October at the London Film Festival
