WONDERFUL
single from "a festival of colours"
"A deeply atmospheric record, A Festival of Colours bustles with musicality and glistening soundscapes. Tinged with post-rock and indie motifs the album is a serene, yet powerful journey into Kevin Barry’s music."- The Last Mixtape
"Take the time to listen to this record, give it its due and reap the rewards..."
----------------------
"It’s almost as if Ian Curtis has lived on and has been collecting obscure Parliament B-sides..."
-----------------------
"It goes beyond comparison, it sounds new and it sounds like breaking ground. It’s a joy – a slow burning and earned joy – but a joy nonetheless..."
