Blind Man’s Colour, a Experimental / Psychedelic / Ambient band hailing from St. Petersburg, Florida, rose from relative obscurity to a band to look out for in 2009 after a simple promo post on Kanye West’s blog.
The band’s sound, according to Indie Rock Cafe, can best be described as dreamy, trippy, chorus laden and synthesized electro pop with obvious influences from Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and Animal Collective.
Blind Man’s Colour consists of Kyle Wyss and Orhan Chettri, who began playing together since they were both in the 8th grade. The two have released a number of self-produced mixes of their music over the years, but have yet to make an official release — which, by the way, is currently in the works. You can, however, download their 4 song EP titled The Rainbow Faces on their blog here.
Thanks to the post from Mr. West, the band just recently landed a deal from indie label Kanine Records. The popular hip-hop producer took a liking to their song Jimmy Dove, which sounds like a trip underwater with a lush atmosphere and lo-fi vocals — very dreamy.
Be on the lookout for BMC’s debut album titled Season Dreaming, which is expected to be released this summer. You can check out more of the band on their MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/weareblindmanscolour, and their blog at http://blindmanscolour.blogspot.com.
