Melbourne double act Colour Bomb makes a big impression with the debut single “On the Run.”
This is masterful stuff, a fantastical epic executed perfectly. It reminds me of some of the music Silverchair produced on the Diorama album. The key difference though is that it took years for Silverchair to show such bravery. No wonder Gotye has been quoted as saying “On the Run” is a “beguiling track in its entirety.” Colour Bomb’s frontman James Saunders does play in Gotye’s band, but I’m sure he wasn’t just being nice!
We’ll hear more from Colour Bomb when they release their debut album early next year. Until then, sit back and enjoy this incredible tune. Singles like this aren’t released every day after all!
