©ough©ool If you're anything like me, sometimes you have to put things in the wishlist for a later day. After hearing Sunrise, I was sold.
I started this album thinking ok, I can wait, the first song was not an immediate grab. Colour played & it was all over.
I scour Bandcamp trying to find music that hits like this. Immediately satisfying riffs & vocals are just outstanding . I guess it's an oldie but goodie

Ioannis Valiakos Three days ago I 'd never heard of this band. For the past three days, I 've been trying to compensate for the lost time. If you loved their latest album "Resonate", this album explains where the magic came from. Killer original grooves, intelligent lyrics and a singer with his own style and heart; which has always been a hard-to-come-by combination. I 'm sure you never wondered what would come out of a union between She Loves Pablo and At The Drive In. Listen to this album, and think again! Favorite track: As Far As It Goes.

zzzptm I go through a lot of albums here, start listening to them, then do a Simon Cowell and say "Thank you" as I stop the stream and move on to the next. Cojones held my attention and, in fact, did not let go. Superior product here, and I am glad I followed several recommendations to try out this band. Favorite track: Colour.

1.	Have To Run 03:22	lyrics
I heard in the night, People change their skin Yeah I was over there Stayin' int he sun, Sometimes gets you burned Yeah I was over there Do I have to run So I can be released Do I have to hide So I can have a little peace Do I have to steal To make you share with me And it's all that I've got Freezin' in the fields of your uncharted soul Yeah, I was lost in there The only picture left Is the one I took When I was over there Do I have to run So I can be released Do I have to hide So I can have a little peace Do I have to steal To make you share with me And it's all that I've got
2.	Colour 04:53	lyrics
Don't know how we got so personal But i like it, I like it Outside became unpopular To us now Sunlight greets who ever tends to be Awake, alarmed, on such a beautiful morning Let me slide beneath the skin I've got your colour Be inspired to begin I've got your colour Every minute of the day I've got your colour Never let it fade away I've got your colour Take sides in smashed up corridors Desguise me, remind me Wrapped up in fake commodity A well dressed clown Sunlight greets who ever tends to be Intense, alarmed and undeniably crazy Let me slide beneath the skin I've got your colour Be inspired to begin I've got your colour Every minute of the day I've got your colour Never let it fade away I've got your colour Soft and chained Just like you Rearranged And renewed Sunlight greets who ever tends to be Awake, alarmed, on such a beautiful morning Let me slide beneath the skin I've got your colour Be inspired to begin I've got your colour Every minute of the day I've got your colour Never let it fade away I've got your colour
3.	Bend & Stretch 04:48	lyrics
Inside the traveller's cave Time shifts with summer You bend and stretch yourself Beyond the line And for what difference I chain this lightnin' My arrow knows your name I'll hunt you down, yeah! Fold and have a good day Breathe free But the all fortunate one Will be me
4.	Sacred Fire 04:51	lyrics
Lay your diry jackals on the floor Grasp the peace you came here lookin' for Water washes all the hate away River turns to sea in distant bay I'm not your friend I have worn the blues just like a shirt Slept with the bats in the caves in the dark woods Pearls I kept to lay beneath your feet Glow in someone else's hand selfrighteusly I'm not your friend I said I'm not your friend You broke the seal with fire when You opened up the door I resign and rest my case You have it on your soul Underneath the isle in an ocean all alone Light the sacred fire if you want to make me whole
5.	Tide 07:38	lyrics
I'm on your side don't go Autumn moon he knows Learn to trust, slow Spoonfull of open doors TV sets on hold Makin' friends with my gosts Would you take me away up this time? I'll take you anywhere Sweet little ocean, I like the way you move When youre out of control Beautifull sunshine, you cover me with gold It takes miles to grow Some people do and some don't Would you take me away up this time? I'll take you anywhere Sweet little ocean, I like the way you move When youre out of control Beautifull sunshine, you cover me with gold Don't need no drugs No psychoterapy No guru shit Your kiss will do the trick
6.	Hey Baby 03:07	lyrics
Hey baby don't you want me? Hey baby don't you care Hey I've been walking the sidewald Hey demons at my side Since the day that you pushed me away Like a black bootlickin' dog I howl your name and I ain't the same I'm just singin' the same old song Hey baby don't you want me? Hey baby don't you care Hey I've been walking the sidewalk Hey demons at my side How can it be I'm hangin from a tree Your cute little head in a jar When just an hour ago we were tellin' jokes Untill you told one that went to far Hangin' on your skin and bones I stay Hangin' on those days of old i stay Insane... Hey baby don't you want me? Hey baby don't you care Hey I've been walking the sidewald Hey demons at my side
7.	As Far As It Goes 06:06	lyrics
Another dawn is on the break makes you disappear Chasing shadows running from the light embracing another night The moon is shining calls you with his smile The Sun behind you rising for another round Turn off the light, close your eyes is how you make your own day fall into another hole and keep lying in there The Moon is calling can you take a stand The Sun begun to fall down sky is turning red Flew up in the sky lay down on the cloud and saw wonderful light breeze is singing loud your name
8.	Indika 05:52	lyrics
Your lies evolve And move in circular form I forgot your name And what it's for Don't stop baby you don't stop And you won't stop And you don't stop Lover lover You want the sky... Inside the line Little robots get what they need No signs Well don't you tell them baby I won't Don't stop baby you don't stop And you won't stop And you don't stop Lover lover You want the sky You want the sky.... Erase, rewind The ghosts of history now Before We burn in the brave new world of slavery Don't stop baby you don't stop And you won't stop And you don't stop Lover lover You want the sky You want the sky.... Sky............................ Won't stop baby I don't stop baby I won't stop baby Oh baby baby...
