The Color Study Album Release

Scott Oliphant has a lot of big thoughts and ideas in his head. His extensive conceptual process produces narrative tracks that speak earnestly, especially within the songs he makes as The Color Study. It was a trend he started with the project’s self-titled debut, and it’s one he’s continuing with its upcoming album Future Past Present Tense. While the band’s eponymous debut record was consciously mired by the sadness of a relationship lost, Future Past Present Tense takes a turn for the more heady and existentially philosophical — though still in one aspect or another touching on the impression interpersonal relationships can leave.
