Colouratura is an album made in the off-hours. It is the sound of two 
pals working together into the late hours of the night and on into the 
morning. It's the album we made to blow off steam from the other 
pressures of life. It is the album we made when we weren't looking.

Colouratura started back sometime in early 2016, more or less over 
summer break when Nathan James and I tracked a couple of tunes together.
 What's occurred in the intervening months is an album cobbled together 
of every genre we could throw at it ...

This thing covers a WHOLE lot of ground. Abstract ambient, beautiful pop
 tunes, lo-fi schizophrenia, Ennio Morricone in space, Prog rock, folk, 
punk, Gregorian chant, electronic, circus romps. Heart.

"Colouratura" plays through like a single track, flows effortlessly from
 style to style, and explores an incredible range of dynamics. 
"Colouratura" is an 'event' album. A 50 minute journey into the heart 
and mind of one of the most creative individuals I know.

In addition to Nathan (who sings and plays guitar, bass and keys on the 
album), the guest list is pretty incredible. Dave Newhouse of The Muffins guests on a track, along with Damon Waitkus (Jack o' the Clock) and Connor Reilly (Mercury Tree, Nick Prol and The Proletarians). Drummer Brandon Collins, guitarist Ryan Smurthwaite and vocalist Evyenia Karapolous also make immeasurable contributions to this sonic stew. We couldn't have done it without you.

This is the album that was a labor of love. And it shows. We are proud 
to present Colouratura and cannot possibly wait to share it with you in 
only a short time. Its almost here.

We want to do this thing right, and release it physically. There is a 
beautiful cover design by waiting in the wings. The money you graciously
 donate will go toward production cost. NONE of it will be used for 
anything other than pressing and releasing this album. We can't offer 
much - however, if you donate above the $15 mark, we will send you a 
physical copy of the record when it is finished - $8, we will send you a
 digital copy.
