Chicago's Secret Colours sound like the bastard seed of '60s psychedelia and '90s brit-pop. Since 2010, they have garnered a lot of attention around their hometown and beyond with a touted live show and a slew of mini-releases and are now ready to drop their sophomore album. To help sharpen their sound and brighten their upcoming polychromatic full length, Peach , the band connected with producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Gomez, Iron & Wine), a perfectionist that made the quartet step outside of their comfort zone and grow as musicians.

Secret Colours have released a video for their track "Blackhole" which is taken from their forthcoming album Peach , due May 28th. You can catch Secret Colours at Empty Bottle on June 8th.
We've already brought you the alluring, almost mystical audio for Secret Colours' " Blackhole ," but now you can add in a visual experience courtesy of their new video. With dozy lights and mirroring camerawork, there's a noticeably retro feel to the whole thing, which may or may not help the story of a girl being abducted by a gas mask and boiler suit-wearing man make that bit more sense. Watch it below, and keep an eye out for Secret Colours' album Peach when it's released on the 28th May. [...]

If The Men had taken a different route to their album Open your Heart , then there's the possibility a track could have ended up sounding something like Secret Colours' "Blackbird (Only One)." Secret Colours feed off of guitar rock and pop from decades past, ranging from Hendrix-era guitar noodling to bleary 90s UK bands like the Stone Roses, but with their new single they still cut a piece of gold that's something to be called their own. "Blackbird (One One)" might start off sounding like it's keeping its cool and playing by numbers, but [...]

Chicago psychedelic space rockers Secret Colours are into slow songs drenched in echo with a bluesy backbeat. Their new EP3 takes a bow to Love, The Byrds and, of course,The Kinks they cover their classicc taxman putdown song Sunny Afternoon . Mixing West Coast and English pop they cater to the aging hippies and hipsters market in one big swoop. Lead singer Tommy Evans is so sounding laidback that he might as well have recorded his vocals while lying down. Margaret Albright adds well placed girlie accents. Stand-out [...]
