If 2022’s The Children Of Scorpio was the debut album that turned people onto the world of Project Gemini aka Paul Osborne, Colours & Light is the body of work that will be buried deep into their hearts. It is a majestic album, bringing together the worlds of folk rock, psych soundtracks, and hazy cinematic funk. The fusion of these genres creates a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that transports listeners to ethereal realms while grounding them in the raw authenticity of Osborne's storytelling.
A growing confidence and ease emanate from the writing and production of this sophomore LP, bolstered by the reception to his standout debut. “It’s a more layered and diverse record,” Paul mentions, “with a more outward-looking, global sound, born out of the records I was listening to and the musicians I was lucky enough to collaborate with.” This confidence shines through in the album's thematic depth, which explores a range of human experiences from insomnia to the after-effects of nights out, all while seamlessly integrating influences from diverse cultures and musical traditions. Through collaborations with talented musicians like Jack Sharp, Wendy Martinez, and others, Colours & Light emerges as a rich tapestry of sonic exploration and emotional resonance.
