Cedarsmoke Paints With Many Shades In Their Single 'Picasso Blue' And Annuncia Album Release Date

Cadere nelle ondate melancholiche di 'Picasso Blue', il nuovo singolo di Cedarsmoke, quando uscirà venerdì 1 agosto. Il singolo arriva con l’annuncio del loro terzo album, 'Under The Rainbow', uscito il 31 ottobre.

Dal loro debutto nel 2016, Cedarsmoke ha lasciato il loro impatto sulla scena popolare di Brisbane/Meanjin, con radio che suona il paese e l'attenzione da piattaforme musicali iconiche come Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, Double J, MTV, Pilerats, The Music, AU Recensione, AAA Backstage, Hysteria Mag, Scenestr e altro ancora. Più recentemente, Cedarsmoke ha avuto il piacere di sostenere Bernard Fanning e Paul Dempsey alla Gold Coast's Home of the Arts.

With storytelling front-and-centre in their songs and their genre-bending sound that drifts between folk, indie, and country, every single release is an evolution of their sound.

The second taste of their upcoming album is 'Picasso Blue'. Inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period, it begins with the suicide of Picasso’s friend, Carles Casagemas, and then ripples out into other art forms like the works of James Joyce, Stanley Kubrick and Miles Davis.

The sombre nature of the blue period is reflected in the song, with its slow country guitar, hazy vocals, with a musical howling in the background that lends the song its lonely feel. This song marches on through the face of adversity, with its muted, slow drumbeat, taking on an almost dreamlike quality. Singer-songwriter Jon Cloumassis shares that,

"Musically, this song was a chance to experiment. As each verse was set in a different world lyrically, the aim was to pair the new setting with a new arrangement, dramatically shifting the sound from a gentle melancholy to an experimental psychosis. "

As they prepare to release their third full-length album, 'Under The Rainbow' (out October 31), 'Picasso Blue' is Cedarsmoke at their finest, as they draw on history, literature and pop culture to explore the complexity of the human condition.

Cedarsmoke's 'Picasso Blue' is out on Friday, August 1.
