Colony House - Silhouettes (MP3) Out now

Biography:

In a relatively brief span of time, Colony House has emerged as a vibrant creative force, as well as a beloved fan favourite with a passionate, fiercely loyal fan base.  

That audience is likely to expand substantially with the release of When I Was Younger, the Nashville, TN trio's first full-length album, whose 14 compelling original tunes fulfill the abundant promise of the band's three widely-acclaimed, self-released EPs.

It's not surprising that Colony House has struck a resonant chord with listeners. The threesome maintains a balance of craft and immediacy that reflects its affinity for the sound of such alt-rock outfits as Interpol and The Killers, while echoing the influence of such alternative icons as U2 and New Order.  

Lead singer, guitarist and principal songwriter Caleb Chapman writes effortlessly infectious tunes that resonate with personal experience and emotional authority.  

The songs' messages of faith, hope and perseverance are matched by the organic musical rapport of Caleb and his bandmates, brother Will Chapman on drums and Scott Mills on lead guitar and harmony vocals.  

"The songs I write have always come from deep places, whether they're deep places of joy or deep places of hurt, and it can be hard inviting people into those places with you," Caleb states.

That openhearted attitude is reflected throughout When I Was Younger, both in Caleb's expressive vocals and in the band's vivid performances of such personally-charged tunes as "Silhouettes," "Second Guessing Games," "Keep On Keeping On,"  "Waiting for My Time to Come" and "Won't Give Up," which exemplify the combination of sharp lyrical insight and indelible melodic craft that makes Colony House special.

As the sons of Contemporary Christian pop superstar Steven Curtis Chapman, Caleb and Will Chapman have been steeped in music for their entire lives.  They began making music together in early childhood, playing with their dad as well as their own combos.  

In 2009 they joined forces with Scott Mills, who they'd met through a cousin.  Although initially known collectively as Caleb, the trio rechristened themselves Colony House in 2013, borrowing the name of an apartment complex in their hometown of Franklin, where Will and Scott as well as Caleb's future wife had all lived prior to the band's formation.

"We labored on the album for a long time," Caleb notes.  "We began recording it in September 2012 and finished it in July 2013.  We had our dear friends Joe Causey and Ben Shive co-produce it, which made it a very special experience.  They knew that this was our first full-length project, and I think that they felt the responsibility to help us tell our story the right way.  

Perhaps the most startling aspect of When I Was Younger is the band's forthrightness in addressing some deeply personal, emotionally raw issues, most notably the accidental death of Caleb and Will's 5-year-old adoptive sister Maria Sue in 2008.  That tragedy is addressed on several of the album's songs, including “Keep On Keeping On” and “Won’t Give Up,” underlining the songs' recurring themes of faith and family.

"We believe that we have a story to tell—a story of hope and perseverance—and that's what we want to leave people with," Caleb concludes.  "We are not in the business of writing tragedies.  We have experienced tragedy, but we've also seen hope triumph.  Our faith is woven throughout everything we do musically, just as it's woven into the foundation of our lives."
