"Sleep Patterns (is) a seven song warning, announcing Colonies' ambient and intellectual arrival to the world of new-school indie rock." ---The Weekly Volcano
"Colonies is probably the best indie rock band that you haven’t heard of. Yet." ---Redefine Magazine
"...Colonies combines intelligence and ambience. Gentle keys and samples flavor heavy, bombastic percussion courtesy of Centoni, while Shumate's ethereal vocals float above the band's instrumentals. Crystal-clear guitar work cuts through the haunting, atmospheric quality of Colonies' songs, and the band somehow remains sonically captivating even in tense moments of quiet noise." ---The News Tribune
"...music that constantly recalls the moments after a summer storm. The rapid-fire cymbal action of drummer Adrian Centoni is a perfect counterbalance to the weary vocals coming from Travis Shumate. Their newest album, Sleep Patterns, is another chance to bolster your musical IQ." ---Rich and Blake Recommend
column knees...had the strangest dream where y'all were trying to crash a party, only it was half colonies + half cavalier... adam, i want you to take me to an old folks show
Hey! Thanks for the add and the support we really appreciate it! Take care and we'd love to hear your thoughts on our songs! (New video up soon as well!)
This is some really good music. I'm really impressed. This all sounds like stuff I'd actually listen to on a daily basis. If your show wasn't 21+, then I'd be going.
How was the show at PLU? Been listening to sleep patterns a lot lately and dig it. Very similar to Doves who are coming to town but it sold out already! Keep up the good work, looking forward to the new LP. peace
Can't wait to get back to the States and see you guys play again! I'll definitely try to make it to the show at Neumo's. Can't wait for the record. Good luck guys.
hey you guys:) i actually added that show to my calendar a few weeks ago, so don't worry! it only shows a month in advance, that's why you don't see it on there. lol So stoked to see you guys play though! And I also love Far:)
