Artist quote from Angus Andrew of Liars:
“Many moons ago Tyler and Matt (GTC) sent me some instrumentals, one of which was titled “Suicide.” Tragically, as circumstance would have it, an old friend of mine had just taken their life, so the timing was intense. Despite grieving with very raw emotions, I tried to communicate the frustration I was feeling. The result is now indelibly linked and serves as a particularly personal monument to my dear friend.”
Gone To Color is the rock/electronic duo Tyler Bradley Walker and Matt Heim, formed in Cincinnati and now split between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. Gone To Color’s sound has been described as “shapeshifting…subdued, dreamy, and surreal.” The duo’s eclecticism makes categorization hard to pin down; though, combinations of electronics, guitars, and vocals seem ubiquitous in the band’s aesthetic. Walker and Heim often synthesize their instrumental compositions through collaboration.
Gone to Color’s debut album is stacked with an incredible host of collaborators, including Mercury Music Prize nominee Martina Topley-Bird (Massive Attack and Tricky collaborator), Pat Sansone of Wilco, sound designer Richard Devine, GRAMMY nominee Ade Blackburn of Clinic, and Kurt Wagner of Lambchop. The record was co-produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Grandaddy).

LYRICS:
Why do you think of it?
Own it as it falls on you
Take it as it comes
Time will mend this fence again
You cannot wait
Naked as I felt of you
And though our paths crossed
You lost me and I lost you too
Please, please go down
I wonder what the walls were thinking
I’ll keep it in my arms, don’t worry now
I wonder what the walls were thinking
I’ll keep it in my arms now
Keep it in my arms now
Keep it in my arms
And I wonder where you go?
Halloween
Don’t judge, just try
Leave it on the other side
We took but let it pass this time
It’s time to let the dishes out dry
