ALL THE COLOURS from Melbourne, Australia return with intoxicating rock single ‘Tear It Down’ from new album VOL.3. Produced by Chris Taylor from Grizzly Bear and recorded at Vox Studios, Hollywood.
All The Colours – Tear It Down
“Tear it down and start again,” goes the infectious thoroughline of All The Colours’ new single; a fitting return from one of Melbourne’s beloved rock bands, ‘Tear It Down’ heralds a new chapter. One marked by voracity and a hunger for more insatiable rock and roll sounds. Heading into the second half of 2019 with this new single, All The Colours look towards the release of their new album Vol. 3, as well as highly anticipated shows in Melbourne and Sydney into August – opportunities to road test the new material while also reconnecting with that sweating, heaving live realm.
‘Tear It Down’, with its strong indie guitars and vocal harmonies reminiscent of early Interpol and Nirvana, highlights the strong dynamic All The Colours have fashioned for themselves over the course of two studio albums and years of touring between them. The end result is slick, finessed and goes down like the smoothest of whiskeys.
Produced by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, mixed by Cian Riordan (Mini Mansions, Beth Ditto), mastered by Grammy-nominated mastermind Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, Vampire Weekend) and recorded out at Vox Studios in Hollywood, ‘Tear It Down’ is another defiant offering from a band most definitely in the pocket and feeling each beat, riding each groove. “‘Tear It Down’ is a classic four-chord alt-rock soft verse and heavy chorus anthem, taking themes from Pixies and Nirvana and realising them through the lens of the modern era. Chis Taylor adds his production prowess, knowing when to let things get dangerous and unhinged and when to let the song sparkle and shine.” All The Colours
Already, All The Colours have teased the direction of Vol. 3, with the release of singles ‘You Know, I Don’t’ and ‘Heartbreaker’, each falling in line with a leather-clad rock aesthetic yet, as with ‘Tear It Down’, they shine with individuality. Bristling music layered with melodic charm, All The Colours are gearing up for their strongest release yet. Bolstering the release of their latest single, the band has also unveiled the ‘Tear It Down’ music video, directed by Zachary McSweeney.
Grainy, striking and confronting, the visuals are a direct representation of the ideas of cataclysmic destruction All The Colours put front and centre on record. “The song is about the impending doom of society, how if we don’t change things soon and break down some of our current systems, we will descend into chaos. I’m a bit of a pessimist in my darker moments and this song was a way for me to express those feelings. I’m definitely as guilty as the next person of propagating a flawed system but I think writing songs in this vein is a way to make myself culpable and force myself to actually practice what I preach!” Joshua Moriarty, All The Colours
