Coming hot from the sun-drenched haze of west LA, Maffa Rico have recently unveiled the precursor single to their upcoming album, Honeymoon Phase, set to be released in September. Coloring Book is a splendid instrumental track, that takes listeners on a captivating sonic journey; It begins with a highly atmospheric introduction, like a soothing bedroom pop creation, gradually unfurling to reveal its true beauty. A stellar guitar solo takes center stage, accompanied by the gentle tones of soft Wurli electric pianos, creating an immersive ambiance. An old Casio drum machine proves to be a trustworthy “rhythm keeper” throughout this magnetic sonic experience.
Coloring Book stands out as one of the most distinctive instrumentals we’ve encountered in quite some time. It’s akin to hearing Tortoise immersed in chillwave, only to be unexpectedly interrupted by a virtuosic guitarist, adding an exhilarating twist to the musical tapestry.
