What The Critics Say
Velour One Hundred's Of Colour Bright is the group's best record to date, exquisitely balancing their lush dream-pop soundscapes with enchanting melodies and a strong Christian undercurrent. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
While Fall Sounds' successor, Of Color Bright, added a spacy sense of orchestration to the core of Amon Krist and Trey Many's songs, Fall Sounds itself is far more grounded, minimal, and less polished than its follow-up. One could easily argue that this sound suits the band more than the elaborate 4AD-style art-rock of later releases -- its open simplicity is frequently more emotive than Of Color Bright, in the same sense that a Cocteau Twins album like Victorialand is more emotive than Four Calendar Cafe. ~ Nitsuh Abebe, All Music Guide
