Statuesque Vancouverite Sally Dige is emblematic of a restless spirit flitting in and out of view, an apparition just out of reach. 

On "Forget Me"the idea of self is brought into focus then blurred  as Dige intones a gothically-enhanced hymn to self-erasing. Over an emotionally wrought 4 mins, post-punk bass lines and moody synth-leads edge the author into willed obscurity from view. On the edges of the song are hints at a fractured, fragile character: "I'd rather go alone / and not be missed by anyone." Is it auto-biographical? Or a character impeccably acted? On the other side "Losing You" proves that Sally Dige never gives too much away. Here she wears the mask of a jaded lover watching the physical and moral collapse of someone once loved, confronted with something unrecognisable. Melding an Italo Disco skeleton with dark analogue synths, in many ways the music is similarly an eroded form once recognised, now perverted into a propulsive, strange new language.

John Metcalfe takes to the road for a series of dates in May 2016. 

For these live shows Metcalfe has assembled an incredible line up of musicians from the worlds of folk, electronica and post-classical; crisp, jazz-influenced beats from Rae Morris’ drummer Daisy Palmer, deeply felt groove from Red Snapper's bassist Ali Friend and the exquisite voice of Rosie Doonan, fresh back from touring with Birdy.

'It's an effervescent, divinely beautiful moment, packed with Eno-esque passages of ambience and glistening guitar lines worthy of 
Vini Reilly.’ – Clash

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Composer, producer, classical violist, guitarist, and arranger to A-list pop stars, John Metcalfe has always been a name worth seeking out. The Appearance of Colour presents Metcalfe as a recording artist -- as front man, maestro and manipulator of sounds. Moreover it's a 'proper' album, carefully crafted as a listening experience with a beginning, middle and end, in which no two tracks sound or feel the same.

To make the album, Metcalfe enlisted the support of a small 'repertory company' of trusted collaborators, including drummer Andy Gangadeen (The Bays, Chase and Status), bassist Ali Friend (Red Snapper), pianist Tom Cawley (Curios, Peter Gabriel) and singer Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes). Metcalfe then meticulously assembled his arsenal of electronics, strings, guitars and layered vocals in his Oxford garage studio. The Appearance of Colour may share some of the programmed perfection typical of contemporary electronica, yet there's a 'played' feel that animates the tracks -- the sense of musicians giving everything they have in the first take.

Master of My Heart

It’s nice to believe 
Good things come to those who wait
But you always have that fear
You’re already too late

You are the master of my heart
I just try to play my part
You are the master of my heart
You made my life start

Sometimes your destiny
Is just right where you are
Sometimes your true life
Isn’t really that far

I thought I had it all
I thought that I was happy
But when I finally had something to lose
My heart did not belong to me

Tiffany "I Think We re Alone Now"

Yesterday, I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday, I got so old
It made me want to cry

Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, go on and disappear
Go on, go on away from here

And I know I was wrong when I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her in between without you
Without you

Yesterday, I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday, away from you
It froze me deep inside

Come back, come back, don't walk away
Come back, come back, come back today
Come back, come back, why can't you see?
Come back, come back, come back to me

And I know I was wrong when I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her in between without you
Without you 

Without you

(Written by R. Smith, originally performed by The Cure)
