Color Green Release New Album: Fools Parade
The Los Angeles-based psych quartet Color Green recently inked a deal with New West Records, marking a significant milestone in their musical journey. Their much-anticipated sophomore album, Fool’s Parade, was released today and co-produced by the band alongside Mike Kriebel, a renowned figure in the industry known for his work with acts like Osees and Wand. Recorded at the esteemed Discount Mirrors and Golden Beat Studios in Los Angeles and mastered at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, the album showcases the band’s evolution and musical prowess. Notable guest appearances from members of Osees, the Nude Party, and other esteemed collaborators add further depth and intrigue to the project, hinting at the collaborative spirit that permeates throughout.
The band’s trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable. Following the release of their acclaimed eponymous debut in 2022 under the auspices of Aquarium Drunkard/ORG Music, Color Green quickly captured the attention of both critics and fans alike. Their live performances, described as dynamic and unpredictable, have earned them a dedicated following and opportunities to share stages with an eclectic array of acts ranging from the mesmerizing sounds of Kikagaku Moyo to the raw energy of Fuzz featuring Ty Segall. Guitarist and vocalist Noah Kohll attributes the band’s live appeal to their willingness to embrace the unknown, ensuring that each performance is a unique and immersive experience for both the band and their audience.
Fool’s Parade serves as a meditation on the complexities of the human experience, exploring themes of loss, grief, confusion, and ultimately, clarity. Reflecting the band’s commitment to authenticity and collaboration, the album unfolds like a tightly curated live set, with ebbs and flows that mirror the emotional landscape it traverses. Guitarist and vocalist Corey Madden underscores the collective nature of the songwriting process, highlighting the band’s unity and shared vision. Bassist and vocalist Kyla Perlmutter echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship that exists between the band members and the unparalleled creativity that emerges from their collaboration.
Recently, the band unveiled the video for “Four Leaf Clover,” a standout track from Fool’s Parade. Exploring the concept of luck and its inherent pitfalls, both musically and visually, the song encapsulates the band’s ethos of embracing the unexpected and finding beauty in the midst of chaos. With guitarist Noah Kohll’s introspective lyrics and Tomas Dolas’ (of Mr. Elevator and Osees fame) synth wizardry, “Four Leaf Clover” is a testament to the band’s ability to seamlessly blend introspection with innovation, resulting in a sonic experience that is as thought-provoking as it is mesmerizing.
