Color Palette Reveal New Single "Rear View"


Washington, DC indie rock/dream pop/indie-psych band Color Palette (led by Jay Nemeye) have revealed their new single "Rear View".

The song is is the first single off of a new full-length album, which will be released later this year/early next year. Get it here.

From the band: "Rear View" is an upbeat + dancy indie rock jam. It's a breakup song - the kind of breakup song that evokes independence and positivity, aptly summarized by the chorus lyric "press restart and I'm on my way". Musically, it falls somewhere in between Yeah Yeah Yeahs x Metric (lots of synths, hard hitting drums, big guitars).
