Color the Weather is the debut album from mutant trap maverick James Richard Prudhomme, better known as Suicideyear.
Perfectly poised between forward thinking, emotive electronic music and
low-slung hip hop, Color the Weather combines Southern rap with a gothic tint of
paranoid funk that gives a
proper fresh spin to a classic sound.
The deep south trap sound is still integral to Suicideyear’s style, but
less prominent this time, with more attention placed on melodic and harmonic
development, ultimately bringing him
closer to Clams Casino’s sound.
Oneohtrix Point Never’s now defunct Software label played host to
Suicideyear’s early output.
Color the Weather is a beautiful, mesmerising album showcasing
Suicideyear's talent and ability to create uplifting and ethereal dance
tracks without losing any of the kick. …Color
the Weather proves that 808 cowbell trills aren't a crutch and showcases his
ability to adapt and refine his style in new innovative ways.
