4 piece Australian rock band Carvel have just dropped their most funk-pop venture to date, with new single Colour Me In.
Infused with muted bass guitars and vibrant riffs inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Vile, Colour Me In is a funked up psychedelic smash up with chilled out and catchy lyrics.
“The song began as a warm up jam while we were getting ready before a gig and it was so much fun to play that instead of practising for the gig, we spent the entire day putting the song together and played it that night,” said the band.
Over the funky variations of the pop chorus and fuzzy guitar solo, the lyrics to Colour Me In have a deeper, personal meaning.
“The song for me, lyrically, came to be about reinvention. I’ve always been a very closed person, someone who bottles my feelings and has difficulty making close connections,” said Tim Tanzer.
Carvel agree reinventing themselves is a good thing, as it allows them to be who they are and changes the greyscale perspective of the world to be filled with colour.
