Ltd Ed Bonus 7″ Disc “Of Yesterday”…

Nice little review in The Pirates Press Record Of The Week Blog.

“Recorded in the picturesque South Coast of the UK, this debut album from ORANGE YELLOW RED will definitely have your imagination seeing colors. ORANGE YELLOW RED is a mixture of Shoe Gaze and Dreampop, which just happens to be the specialty of SAINT MARIE RECORDS, the label with the vision to put out this masterpiece. With a gatefold jacket in reverse board finish this ‘Doublemint Green’ and ‘Electric Blue’ Aside/Bside record also has ‘Olive Green’ splatter throughout. The blues and greens swirl in a subtle mixture that is hard to describe. If you get to SAINT MARIE RECORDS’ website in time, you might be able to pick up the limited edition version that also includes a bonus 7”!!!”

Album Review & Spotlight Feature in December Issue Of…

Fantastic review of our debut album by Textura.org in their December 2013 Issue..

“Buoyed by a gorgeous lead vocal from Hayward, “Into Your Arms” works up a transcendent, guitar-heavy swoon that’s pretty much irresistible, while “All the Hopes” makes good on the opener’s promise with three blissful minutes. Such songs reveal that the album’s strengths are rooted not just in its polished shoegaze-pop sound but in the songs’ sparkling melodies. Changing things up, Mayor and Hayward share vocal duties on “The Sea,” with the former handling the verses and the bassist the choruses, while the multi-instrumentalist flies solo on the anthemic “Some Things Are.” Hayward’s vocal turns prove to be particularly haunting, as evidenced by her contributions to “A Long Goodbye,” “Always Tomorrow,” and “Thunder,” and on the instrumental front, the group shows itself to be as adept at delivering high-volume euphoria (“The Last Song”) as chiming pop ballads. Pretty much everything on this superb album hits that ever-elusive sweet spot, and one finds oneself repeatedly captivated by Orange Yellow Red’s ravishing set.”
