The Technicolors are like a glittering disco oasis in the middle of a desert - creating wistful guitar-driven indie rock that bursts with colorful lyrics, funky basslines and sun-dappled melodies. Today, the Phoenix based three piece arrive with their staggering new track, Little Charmer premiering on Clash Music. Heralding the group as "an addictive new proposition from Phoenix...", the song is an ode to the late starters. Band frontman, Brennan Smiley explains - "'Little Charmer' is a number I wrote about feeling like the last one to the party, and the last to leave, and wondering why I was even there to begin with. We've all been there, in one way or another. So I wanted to celebrate that moment. It's a picture of those who have moved on painted for those who persist, and ultimately a celebration of all the different people come and go, looking back and moving forward."
With gorgeously nostalgic aesthetics from bands that frontman, Brennan Smiley fondly describes as "high hat" bands from the nineties and early 2000's (think, The Strokes) and brimming with flourishes of Britishisms heard in UK acts like DROWNERS, their debut record, Metaphysical, due July 7 via 8123 is a cohesive collection of songs with an energy that is impossible to ignore. Meeting through a mutual friend in Phoenix at a bar a few years back, Brennan Smiley and Sean Silverman became fast friends reminiscing over music and the fact that their dad's both had an unrivaled love for Led Zeppelin. Smiley at the time was looking to switch up the acoustic arrangements he had for his solo project, enlisted Silverman on guitar and soon after Mike (Nico) Nicollette on bass. Shortly after, the sound of The Technicolors began echoing through the dusty bars and venues of Phoenix.Videos
