CD & LP

Striking out in June 2011 with his debut EP ‘In Your Gut Like A Knife’ - a neat summary of his electronic excursions at that point - the beautifully artworked 12” acted as a portal into a world of daydreams, tumbling into shadows and embracing luminescence simultaneously. Breeding surreal headphone-friendly landscapes, he struck a peculiar and delicate balance between otherworldly and familiarity, at times sneaking a sly glance towards the dancefloor but mostly conjuring a sense of longing and rye melancholy. Ticking with a distinctive bounce and rhythm, it comes as no surprise that Gang Colours was raised on the bump and grind of UK Garage.

Taking a step back from chopped ‘n’ screwed RnB vocals and the swing of UKG, ‘The Keychain Collection’ explores more sombre recesses within Gang Colours’ palette. The scattered Technicolor synth melodies that characterised his EP are present, but softer, cosier even, weaving betwixt and between forthright piano chords and Will’s own vocals.

‘The Keychain Collection’ eloquently captures Gang Colours’ first steps on a long road.
