My _____ is pink. by colourmusic Colourmusic 's sophomore LP, My __ Is Pink , is set for a May 17th release via Memphis Industries . The single off this vibrant and sexy concept album is "Tog," which is very reminiscent of Flaming Lips. Here, Colourmusic successfully creates layers of sounds, like Pollock's drip method, blending heavy floor tom beats, gospel grooves, and melodic harmonies into a kaleidoscopic experience.
