Clash Magazine Review

Colonies has just been reviewed by the fantastic Clash Magazine in the UK. Here's a brief excerpt:

Canon Blue
Colonies
(Rumraket)

...Mixed by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and mastered by the ever industrious Chicks On Speed collaborator Cristian Vogel, James composed the large majority of this record on his grandmother's upright piano. It makes for an intriguing introduction that both encompasses James' warm bedroom electronics with a swelling, leftfield vocal that meanders in alt-country territory. The sound boasted is fresh, and suitably defies its sole artist origins. Canon Blue is a unique discovery and 'Colonies' is his brooding, breathtaking colossus.
