With the rattling tones of piano pop and electronic soundscapes, A Colour Rich As Blood (ACRAB) begins with a gorgeous August Forster piano and explodes into an echoing array of delays with an enigmatic hook to send you back into your chair. The beauty keeps coming.
Joshua Love's new single, ACRAB, will definitely surprise you. Not only is the style a polar opposite of the pounding sounds of Proximity Butterfly, but we begin to see a softer, more emotional side to the dream-like imagery that often makes up Love's Lyrics.
The reviews are coming in and there is nothing but positive energy spreading across social media.
"Been listening to your track on repeat all morning, man. It's really hitting the right spot;
Love the Chorus" -MF-
"Beautifully written/structured" -528 Recordings-
"Stupid talented, so many good songs and super creative! I don't know where or how he
comes up with all of this stuff, but it's brilliant." - J. Macintosh [My My Sugar]-
"Beautiful!" - Lisa-
Mixed by the greatly talented Stella Gotshtein [Waves] and mastered by Alex Saltz at APS Mastering [NYC], this track is the most sonically mature Love has released yet.
We can only imagine that things will be getting more and more beautiful as the releases keep coming.
The stunning artwork was built from the ongoing collaboration with Michal Pachniewski and Love. Michal's brilliant eye for shape, shadow and colour has always been on par with the vision of Love's music and the two continue pulling out all of the stops with strong imagery and poignantly subtle messages that reflect the our trying times.
Available on all platforms, come take a listen to this captivating piece.
Lyrics:
A storied night
Of kingdoms come
A colour rich as blood
The flesh is real
My sister knows
These castle walls are hard to heal
I speak in tongues
To hide what hurts
Cause only those who know can feel the curse
All the hurt
And all the pain
Just simple words
Like knives they rain
Oh my heart is breaking
Yes it is
Every time you say “so long”
It makes me sick
How can I stand for reasons
Less than this
Somewhere in this space of love is fear
I’ve asked for help, and fallen far
The wings I have don’t seem to work
I’ve tried to give, my heart and soul
Maybe there’s another way I don’t know
Oh my heart is breaking , yes it is
Every time you say “so long”
It makes me sick
How can I stand for reasons
Less than this
Somewhere in this space of love is fear
Maybe there’s a way to change the course of fate
To shine a light upon a hope that fades away
I wish these songs could
Change the way the world revolves
But someone’s voice is silent, silent
The suns slowly fly circles again
Fortunes Reach the hour, I am
Feeling the reign will always end
Maybe there’s a way to change the course of fate
To shine a light upon a hope that fades away
I wish these songs could
Change the way the world revolves
But someone’s voice is silent, silent
Oh my heart is breaking , yes it is
Every time you say “so long”
It makes me sick
How can I stand for reasons
Less than this
Somewhere in this space of love is fear
Maybe there’s a way to change the course of fate
To shine a light upon a hope that fades away
I wish these songs could
Change the way the world revolves
But someone’s voice is silent, silent
A storied night
Of kingdoms come
A colour rich as blood
