You only have three more sleeps until, Hardly A Day, Hardly A Night, the latest from Cubicolor is available for your ears to feast on, and feast you must! Following up their 2016 debut full-length Brainsugar, the trio has continue to build on their reputation for sultry soundscapes with HAD,HAN, which seems nothing short of suitable to spin for the first time at twilight.
To hold you over until Friday, the band released the Melodies EP, which features a thoughtful array of cuts from the record. As for the title track, “Memories”, navigates your eardrums through a slow build of textures that playfully ebb and flow throughout the track.
After scrapping what could have been their followup in 2018, the band explored some powerful themes as they wrote what would become HAD,HAN. The band shares, “There were a lot of moments when we weren't sure we'd ever find what it was we were looking for. On the way we lost friends, lost loves, battled health issues, lost an album, lost each other and came back together again. Looking back now it was pretty crazy but the world keeps spinning and I guess we just didn't want to put out anything that wasn't true to ourselves as a band, and the very best we can do as musicians, no matter how long it took.”
Fortunately for them it was worth the added effort.
