Album Notes

The artists formerly known as Fletcher have cast aside their original nametag, taking their new handle from Edwin Abbott's 19th century social commentary Flatland, an exploration of life in two dimensions. But Colour Revolt is far from two-dimensional, eschewing Fletcher's familiar sonic assault of unorthodox song structures and time signatures for a more melancholic though equally guitar-driven asethetic of post-grunge Southern gothic.

The band's soundscape relects the literary heritage of their native Oxford, Miss., channeling the jagged emotionality and moral ambiguity of the locale's forefathers, William Faulkner and Barry Hannah. Another facet of the small university town's life is music, serving as the home to the neo-blues pioneering of Fat Possum Records and in-demand Sweet Tea Recording studios.
Colour Revolt's debut EP was mixed by Clay Jones (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello).
