Album Of The Day: 77 (Pt. 1) by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's 77 (Pt. 1) album - A photo of a blue sky background with intermittent white clouds from below. From the right side is a man's large hand extended and a woman's smaller hand with purple painted nails is extended from the left. The two hands look they are about to be clasped together in a moment in the middle of the frame.

Released today, this is the fifth studio album from the band Colony House, one of my current favorite rock bands. With the "Part 1" in the title and the only 7-track length, it seems like it might be just a half of the final album that is coming later. Usually I wouldn't feature a partial album, but I'll make an exception for my favorite bands. Lyrically, it's clear the boys have found the recent years tough and are trying to find a positive way forward, and they mostly fill this release with mid-tempo rock ruminating on that. Probably my favorite song at the moment is "OK OK OK OK", which celebrates doing whatever in the moment with a loved one. I guess I'm going to continue to use this post to rant about how songs are getting shorter and albums too now, and I hope we get more from Colony House soon, but I guess for now I'll enjoy that we got any new music at all. These songs are good, even if I wished there were more. Looking forward to seeing them on tour in a couple weeks!
