Opening with an enticing and serene acoustic melody, Animate reels you into their string based tapestry on ‘The Color of A New Day’ with effortless ease. The song feels so light, a kind of weightless escape into the clouds or amidst the hills. The Italian outfit definitely have a markedly different vocal style but still stick fairly close to the traditional indie folk arrangement standards. The riff definitely serves as the anchor of the song, a continual tempo and rhythm that permeates and gives the entire song its emotional core and character.
Reserved and minimal but undoubtedly captivating, ‘The Colour Of A New Day’ is resplendent in its message and in the themes it brings to life. A serenading piece of folk music for any fan.
