Release Notes:
--------
Poughkeepsie's husband-and-wife duo The Color Wheels have been playing
together since 2003.
"My wife Psalm asked me to teach her how to play drums," explains Jon
Sebastian of The Color Wheels. "So I wrote some songs for us to play
together as a band."
With Psalm drumming and Jon playing guitar and singing, the duo put
together a batch of fun and cunningly charming songs. They recorded
demos for their friends and played shows at not-so-typical venues such
as public libraries, community colleges, and living rooms, often joined
by their friend Abe Germano on bass.
From the beginning the band has taken a simplified, less-is-more approach
to their songwriting. But don't be fooled - behind the jangly guitars and
sing-along melodies lies perfectly crafted indie pop with a surprising
attention to detail.
And although songs about pirate ships and camping trips may at first seem
inconsequential, a closer listen reveals a clever tongue-in-cheek take on
the themes of awkward emergent adolescence. "Trying to resist temptation
while at the same time being confused and consumed by it," Jon explains.
Their new self-titled record was recorded at The Space Recording Studio
in Poughkeepsie, NY and was produced and engineered by Jacques Cohen
(Mercury Rev, The Brides, Agit Pop).
