New album: COLOR THEORY presents DEPECHE MODE
Between diaper changes, I've been working diligently on a new album. The idea came after recording "I Want You Now" for an upcoming Depeche Mode tribute CD by Pop Cult Records. There are plenty of DM tributes on the market, most of them hit and miss. I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to have a tribute CD by a single artist that flows like an album?" Half-jokingly, I'm going to include my song "Ponytail Girl", which has been traded the world over as a Depeche Mode song and even appears on some pressed bootleg CDs. Here's the promotional text I've come up with:
An album-style tribute to Depeche Mode, complete with two new interludes. Eleven of their most underappreciated songs reinvented, plus "Ponytail Girl", the Color Theory original that the world mistook for DM.
I'm worried that "album-style" might confuse people, since it actually is an album (an album-style album?). I have yet to find better words to communicate that the songs flow together coherently as a unit. I'm open to any suggestions!
The album is electronic and sample based - dark, gritty, and upbeat. The songs are being altered at the deepest levels - chord progressions, structures, and sometimes even lyrics. You'll be shocked - in a good way - not only to hear Depeche Mode sound like this, but to hear Color Theory sound like this.
Expect a final tracklist next month, and a release in mid-November.
