Turquoise Days - Splintered Colours

Review by Toluse Francis

Turquoise Days' album Splintered Colours is a mesmerizing journey through the synth-pop landscape. The Manchester-based duo, consisting of musicians Luciano Brambilla and David Le Breton, has created a unique sound that blends elements of new wave, post-punk, and electronic music.

The album starts off with the upbeat track "Grey Skies," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The use of synths and drum machines creates a nostalgic sound that transports the listener back to the '80s. The vocals are dreamy and ethereal, adding to the overall ambiance of the album.

Tracks like "Visions" and "Blurred" showcase the band's ability to create a melancholic atmosphere while maintaining a catchy melody. The use of guitar and bass on these tracks adds a layer of depth to the already intricate soundscapes.

The album's title track, "Splintered Colours," is a standout. The song's intro is reminiscent of a sci-fi movie soundtrack, and the chorus is infectious, making it one of the album's most memorable tracks.

Splintered Colours is a cohesive and well-crafted album that showcases Turquoise Days' unique sound. The duo's ability to create a nostalgic yet modern sound is impressive, and the album is a must-listen for fans of synth-pop and new wave music.
