A Colour Rich as Blood



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.

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
