about
Lewis Coleman – the Beloved art-rock artist makes music that is “heady, bewitching, and ultimately immersive” (Clash Magazine). Offline, his new record out October 27 on Beloved Recordings, is sophisticated and honest, undulating through Colemans idiosyncrasies and observations, fluxing and unfurling through less familiar aspects of his identity in conspicuous and playful ways.
Coleman returns with his new single, “Indigo”, co-produced with Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music) and accompanied by another video from Jack Ralph. Recorded at Cromacks’ Prawn Records in Meanjin/Brisbane, “Indigo” is a musing, sweet and melancholic tune in which Coleman meanders through love's silly, complex, simple, sad, beautiful and ever evolving ways through the prism of colour.
Following his first single “Talking To Yourself”, “Indigo” navigates lost and changing relationships, self-preservation and those nuanced worlds we find ourselves in between wanting the best for someone while still wanting them around. “You’re hiding things from me again // I want to see your river bend // So clearly, but really, what is it you get from me?”. Set to a backdrop of his signature meandering guitar lines, warm warbly melodic piano and bouncy yet grounded rhythm section, Coleman’s delivery is delicate, heartfelt and earnest. “Is it a thing I used to know? // I took the wheel and let it go”.
Of the video, Coleman’s vision was simply to augment this particular feeling; a coming home, letting the colours of the day wash over you, a debrief, a dissection, a wind down and a wind up. The colour is lasting but you can choose to view it differently.
lyrics
I WENT TO SEE YOU INDIGO
THEY SAID IT WAS JUST DEEPER BLUE
I WENT TO SEE YOU INDIGO
THE COLOURS DRAINED FROM ME
OH INDIGO
IS IT A THING I USED TO KNOW
I TOOK THE WHEEL AND LET IT GO
I’LL LEAVE IT ALL TO CHANCE AND LET
THE COLOURS RAIN ON ME
YOUR EYES, JUDGE ON THEIR OWN
A MEASURE OF A SEAMLESS CODE
CAN ANYBODY SEE SO FAR?
OH INDIGO
YOU’RE HIDING THINGS FROM ME AGAIN
I WANT TO SEE YOUR RIVER BEND
SO CLEARLY, BUT REALLY
WHAT IS IT YOU GET FROM ME?
WHAT IS IT YOU GET FROM ME?
WELL WHAT IS IT YOU GET?
