Real life has rarely sounded so pretty, but blooming indie-pop group The Colourist has certainly made a colorful splash with its single "Little Games," the first off of freshman EP Lido. While the lyrics are understated and low-key, the delivery couldn't be more exhilarating: the drums hit hard as Adam Castilla and Maya Tuttle's vocals spiral around each other in a hate/love affair. (Note how the video below exemplifies this, elegant fixtures and gorgeous pastel shades being smashed into oblivion. I'm a sucker for any group that can give me some good imagery to work with, and this group delivers it in spades.) The instrumentation, too, is ready for morning radio, a blissful blend of subtle guitar strokes and M83-esque synth squiggles. With no shortage of aspiring indie-pop stars, it takes a lot to stand out, but The Colourist is coming out swinging: "Little Games" is a sparkly, stadium-sized tune that doesn't drown out the heartache, and it gives me hope that this group will take off in the very near future.
