You See Colours by Delays
Review by Gillian Wong, Shatin College
The latest album by British indie band Delays showcases the group's unique style.
Their electro-pop sound, which has a rock edge, has been compared to the Cocteau Twins and the Stone Roses. You See Colours is the band's second release, following their 2004 debut Faded Seaside Glamour.
The songs are catchy. The album starts off well with You and Me, which features the vocals of lead singer Greg Gilbert against a synthesiser background and sentimental lyrics about life.
Valentine is another enjoyable track. Inspired by the band's real-life experience with a hurricane that struck Mississippi while they were on tour, the song showcases some of the group's best skills. It has a great melody and smoothly-blended harmonies.
