Colour of the Trap

Sharp guitars and 1960s swagger meet modern British grit. A debut defined by cinematic analog warmth, mod-revival hooks, and a relentless, stylish energy.

It's like a 1960s spy movie soundtrack but played by a sharp-dressed indie band in a sweaty basement club.

A high-octane blend of vintage swagger and modern indie grit that feels both nostalgic and urgent.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The heavy, distorted guitar riff of Inhaler that sounds like a siren through a foggy London street.

The breathy, intimate vocal interplay with Clémence Poésy on Happenstance that feels like a 1960s French film scene.

The explosive, rhythmic 'ooh-ooh' hook in Come Closer that demands immediate foot-tapping.
