Colony House
Sep 29, 2016
Franklin, Tennessee's Colony House has signed to RCA Records. "You & I" is the first single can be found on their sophomore studio album, "Only The Lonely" set for release on January 13th, 2017. Producer Peter Katis known for his work with Interpol, The National, Frightened Rabbit, and more worked with the band on many of the album tracks, as well as notable mixer Vance Powell (Jack White, Elle King, Beck).
"Lyrically and musically this song pushed us out of what's comfortable to us. In a time in history that feels so fragile we feel like this song takes a different perspective," the band explains. "The lyric 'Maybe the world isn't crazy / Maybe it's You & I' is our attempt to look at ourselves before we point a finger at someone else. Musically, we approached this song like a live show. We recorded it as one take with all of us playing our instruments in a room at the same time. That approach really helped us draw out the emotion and urgency that the song expresses."
Colony House is made up of brothers Caleb Chapman and Will Chapman, as well as Scott Mills and Parke Avery. The band began working together while in high school in 2009. They self-released three EPs, before releasing their debut album, "When I Was Younger," in 2014 on Descendent Records. Colony House has previously performed on CONAN, Late Night with Seth Meyers and VH1 "Big Morning Buzz," and has been featured by NPR Music, Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, and Noisey, among many others.
Colony House are on a fall tour with The Mowgli's.
