Colour of Noise are set to release their thought-provoking
new single ‘Medicine Man’ on November 4th. Watch the video at the end of
this post.
Produced by Luke Potashnick (of The Temperance
Movement) and featuring Mark Richardson on drums, the track is an
exclusive from RAK Studios. It marks the first time Bruce Dickinson of CoN and
Mark Richardson have worked together since recording the cult B.l.o.w album
‘Man and Goat Alike’ in 1994. Adding to the considerable talent
pool, the song's heady psychedelic video has been produced by Mikee W
Goodman (not only a member of progressive metal band SikTh, but also an
award-winning director).
It's no secret that Colour of Noise are deeply respectful of
the music of the past that inspired them, particularly the classic rock of the
60s and 70s. However, whilst recording once more on 2 inch tape and
cranked-to-the max vintage gear, producer, Luke encouraged the band to be far
less reverential, more adventurous; more minimalistic and experimental. This
new direction paves the way for the next Colour of Noise Recordings which will
take place in the Spring of 2017.
CoN believe in exploring "issues of permanence" in
their work. Medicine Man is no exception and deals with addiction in all its
forms, including the inevitable accompanying feelings of hopeless and
dependency. Colour of Noise don't claim to offer a solution to the problem, and
indeed refrain from judging either the medicine man or the receiver of his
wares. They simply document the pain and emptiness of the situation.
Medicine Man's colourful, striking video was directed by
award-winning director Mikee W Goodman. "I wanted to bring this song to
life visually," he explains, "The psychedelic vibe is reflected
throughout the video. Felt great to work with Colour of Noise. Really enjoyed
it and love the song too. We're looking forward to sharing this with you
all."
“We all really respected Mikee’s work," says Bruce
Dickinson, "and we gave him a completely free hand with the video, which
is unashamedly psychedelic, and features Colour of Noise's resident
psychiatrist: the Medicine Man himself, Andrew Rampion-Hill." Ironically
Andrew is a real-life 'medicine man': an anaesthetist who specialises in
cardiology!
The band are selling 50 limited edition singles, numbered
and signed. You can pre-order yours here:https://colourofnoise.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=30320
In further news, CoN are pleased to announce they are
heading out on the road again this December, kicking off this Winter tour at
Planet Rockstock.
