THE CANVAS WAITING – Chasing Color [Review]
THE CANVAS WAITING
Chasing Color
[Unsigned]
Score: 8.5
Stream: “Ghosts”
Yet another unsigned band that should be larger than they are, The Canvas Waiting have brought us the interesting and beautiful Chasing Color EP this year. In the likes of alternative rock, these guys keep things honest and passionate from track to track. Not only are that, they actually have talent and heart to go places. Songs like “Chasing Color” and “Ghosts” excellently introduce the band to a new listener, while also pulling them into the music right off the bat. The sounds can be simple or complex; either way, they swim around you, putting the listener at ease. Chasing Color is unique in the sense that it can be used as a bedtime album and a daytime album. It has a real feel-good atmosphere to it, similar to that of Third Eye Blind or Brighten. The vocals resemble Anberlin at times, which is also interesting. As a whole, this is a great EP to collect new fans for The Canvas Waiting. Any fan of the alternative rock scene should pick this up without hesitation. (NL)
