Colouring

Colouring blend the occasional club rhythms and pop sheen with experimental influences like Radiohead to forge an atmospheric art pop. After establishing the project as a four-piece with a trio of major-label EPs, songwriter Jack Kenworthy went the solo and independent route with Colouring's debut long-player, 2021's Wake. The follow-up, 2024's grief-informed Love to You, Mate, relied mainly on piano and a synth sampler for its more reserved sound.A rebranding of short-lived indie pop quartet Osca, Colouring emerged from London in the mid-2010s. Led by songwriter/singer/keyboardist and Goldsmith University alumnus Jack Kenworthy, the band was rounded out by guitarist Sean Reilly, bass player Dom Potts, and drummer Alex Johnson. They signed with Interscope Records in 2015, and their first Colouring release, the brooding, house-influenced single "In Motion," premiered on BBC Radio 1 in mid-2016. Their first EP, Symmetry, arrived later in 2016 and was followed by North American tour dates in support of the 1975. As their audience continued to grow, the four-song Heathen, featuring single "The Wave," followed on Interscope in mid-2017, with another EP, bn, arriving a year later. The group's lineup then disbanded, with Kenworthy parting ways with Interscope and moving forward as a solo project.Colouring made its full-length debut with the self-released Wake in May of 2021. Kenworthy recorded the album with producer Mikko Gordon (Echo Lake, Tender), who would soon work with acts like Arcade Fire and the Smile (featuring members of Radiohead). That June, Colouring released the non-album Mysie collaboration "Lean On." Shortly before the release of his project's debut album, Kenworthy learned that his brother-in-law had been diagnosed with Stage Four cancer, and he spent much of the next year helping support his partner and extended family. The experience heavily informed the material on Colouring's next album, February 2024's Love to You, Mate. Recorded with Gordon and another prior collaborator, Gianluca Buccellati, it marked Colouring's debut for the Bella Union label. Its more intimate, restrained sound reflected an effort to limit instrumentation to piano, bass, drums, and an OP-1 synth sampler (with some exceptions).
