Gone To Color has shared their latest single “Illusions,” from the forthcoming self-titled debut album, out Oct. 15. The song features guest vocals from Ade Blackburn of Liverpool band Clinic. The song also features contributions from Pat Sansone of Wilco, Luke Reynolds of Guster, Brian Deck and Richard Devine.

“We have been fans of Ade Blackburn and Clinic for a long time. The texture of “Illusions” is dense, so knowing when not to sing was crucial and required an experienced vocalist like Ade who masterfully maneuvers through the landscape. The lyrics and the “speech-like” melodic aspects of the vocal match the aesthetic of the music, which is metallic and dystopian in nature.” -Gone to Color

Gone to Color is an experimental rock/electronic music duo originally formed in Cincinnati and currently coexisting in Atlanta and Washington D.C. Core members Tyler Bradley Walker and Matt Heim frequently use the collaborative space to explore their songwriting with other artists.

Gone To Color’s debut album includes Martina Topley-Bird (Massive Attack and Tricky collaborator), Pat Sansone of Wilco, Richard Devine, Angus Andrew of Liars, Ade Blackburn of Clinic, and Kurt Wagner of Lambchop.

LYRICS

“ILLUSIONS”

Place your bets tonight, with no regrets tonight for you
Soon you’ll be amazed at what you’d contemplate
Oh I know, I know you can, Oh I know you will
Bob-a-job on the till, funny farms to the gill
What an illusion, just an illusion to enjoy
In the wiles, to the gill
Openings for you, openings for me to enjoy
Doused in aftershave, you should learn to behave
Oh I know, I know you can, Oh I know you will
Row your boat ashore, plenty to explore
Oh I know, I know you can, Oh I know you will
Bob-a-job on the til, funny farms to the gill
What an illusion, just an illusion to enjoy
In the wiles, to the gills
Openings for you, openings for me to enjoy
You won’t see me frying, frying, frying, frying
You won’t see me frying, frying, frying, frying pan
You won’t see me frying, frying, frying, frying pan
