PeligoS TriP’s ColourS arrives as a deeply personal collection shaped by memory, geography, and emotional honesty. Written across London, Brighton, and Vancouver, the album reflects different chapters of the artist’s life while drawing from the diverse musical influences of London’s thriving underground scene. Blending ambient rock, dream-pop textures, alternative songwriting, and richly layered vocal harmonies, ColourS invites listeners into a world where atmosphere speaks as loudly as lyrics.
The album opens with “Food for Thought,” immediately setting a contemplative tone. Rustling drums pound steadily beneath slow, mournful horn lines, creating a cinematic sense of anticipation. The track feels like the first step into an emotional landscape, where questions linger longer than answers and every sound seems carefully placed to stir reflection.
A few tracks later, “Prussian Blue” emerges as one of the album’s emotional centerpieces. Nuanced melodies drift alongside trippy, trickling percussion, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. The vocalist’s rich, expressive delivery brings warmth to the song’s existential themes. When she asks, “Hey now why is it so hard to be the way we were born?” the line lands with force. The track unfolds like a gentle plea for authenticity, encouraging listeners to shed expectations and reconnect with their natural selves.
Then comes “Melancholy Blue,” a song that perfectly lives up to its title. Catchy yet understated, it balances shimmering cymbal splashes with a soothing melodic flow. The relaxed vocal performance glides effortlessly across the arrangement, transforming sadness into something strangely comforting.
Throughout ColourS, PeligoS TriP’s inventive use of guitar pedals creates a distinctive ambient signature. By the time the final notes fade, ColourS feels more like a scrapbook of emotions, memories, and moments that continue to resonate long after the journey ends.
