COLOURS & LIGHT [LP] (MAGENTA VINYL, LIMITED, INDIE-RETAIL EXCLUSIVE)

Magenta Vinyl. If 2022's The Children Of Scorpio was the debut album that turned people onto the world of Project Gemini aka Paul Osborne, Colours & Light is the body of work that will be buried deep into their hearts. It is a majestic album, bringing together the worlds of folk rock, psych soundtracks and hazy cinematic funk. A growing confidence and ease emanate from the writing and production of this sophomore LP, bolstered by the reception to his standout debut. It's a more layered and diverse record Paul mentions, with a more outward-looking, global sound, born out of the records I was listening to and the musicians I was lucky enough to collaborate with. It feels relaxed yet self-assured, with a kaleidoscope of sounds that twist together in a mesmerising fashion.Balancing light and shade on this record, there is beauty and tension all wrapped up in Paul's vivid and visceral, storytelling gift.
