“Just a gorgeous recording. Highly Recommended.”
“Color of the Year is a study in contrasts. The band skillfully weaves melody, counter melodies, dissonance, and harmony into a beautiful, shimmering portrait of musical emotion.”
“It’s the way this trio works a small pocket of sound, revealing interesting facets through slight shifts in expression that renders Color of the Year a winning album.”
