The Coloured Air sees bayonets For Legs further sharpening their sound, giving nods to alt-country and indie-rock influence. At its core is simple, solid songwriting, with contagiously fluid vocal melodies. These songs are driven by a solid rhythm section which compliments the distinct, upfront guitars. The guitars provide subtle flourishes and eerie undertones giving The Coloured Air a crisp aural aesthetic. The record also features collaborations with Sydney indie luminaries Nick van Breda on backing vocals and Angus McDonald (Hailer) on keys.
