Colour TV, the sensational South-West Indie 5-piece, unveiled their latest masterpiece, "You Treat This Place Like A Hotel". This powerful single marks a significant moment in the band's journey, coming hot on the heels of their electrifying summer performances, support from BBC Radio 6 Music, and their rising status among the UK's tastemakers. With their new release, the addition of a fifth member, bass player Chris Harwood, and an evolving musical direction, Colour TV is poised to embark on an exciting new phase of their musical career.
The addition of bass player Chris Harwood represents a pivotal moment in Colour TV's evolution. As the band states, "Colour TV emerge from the dust cloud with a redefined sound in the manifest of 'You Treat This Place Like A Hotel.' The incorporation of a fifth member has forged a new and purposeful path with emphasis on plaintive lyricism and melodic interplay." This new addition promises to take the band's music to the next level, modernizing their sound and exploring uncharted territory.
The single "You Treat This Place Like A Hotel" showcases Colour TV's most mature and vibrant musicality to date. It weaves a delicate sense of yearning into an intricate, atmospheric indie soundscape. Layers of reverb and delay-tinted guitars produce plucky riffs that float over driving bass and thunderous drums, creating an energetic and thoughtful sonic backdrop. The melancholic, soaring vocals glide gracefully above the soundscape, adding charismatic and emotive layers to the song.
As the track unfolds, it introduces an earworm chorus, and dappled glitches within the guitar lines emphasize the experimental processes that permeate the band's creations. This single exemplifies the unique approach that has garnered the band praise in the past – it's uptempo indie-pop adorned with a thoughtful melancholy.
"You Treat This Place Like A Hotel" weaves a poignant narrative, telling the story of a relationship that has chilled due to a breakdown in communication. The song becomes a heartfelt hymn to anyone who has felt like a replacement, questioning whether they could be stand-ins for the love of someone else's life. The title itself speaks to the notion of not ruining a hotel room but not treating the place as if you plan to stay. In the face of such an attitude, the hope remains to be appreciated for who you are, not just for your proximate qualities – to be someone's "New Nobody".
