OF CONOR BYRNE AND COLORWORKS - 12/06/2019

“Next to hit the stage was Colorworks. If I told you Colorworks was your typical happy go lucky indie rock band, I’d be lying. With lightly underlying melancholic tones of heavy heartbreaks and the adventures of having hope overlaid with the upbeat shifting, trippy tones of 70’s rock bands, Colorworks holds nothing back all the while letting you know that despite your heavy laden heart, you have good memories to share and hold dear.” - Alyssa Joy Nelson 

“Premiering today on Northwest Music Scene is “The Bright Carvers / Propellers” from Seattle’s Colorworks, an absolutely gorgeous 7-inch that is sure to pull even more fans into this band’s circle. This pair of dreamy tunes bring to mind warmer days, days when it doesn’t feel like it’s getting dark right after lunch and these songs will serve as fuel to keep us warm for the next several months.” - Northwest Music Scene

"Seattle-based group Colorworks oozed dreamy, psychedelic sunshine on the Barboza Stage during the third day of this year’s Capitol Hill Block Party. KXSU got a chance to talk with the local outlet about their influences, their newest project, and some tour stories. Read what Bret Dylan (guitar & vocals), Nick Myette (bass & vocals), Andrew Ginn (drums), and David Easton (guitar & keys) all had to say!” - Julia Olson 

“After a week off Locals Only came back strong this Sunday with new music from Belgian Fog, The Flavr Blue, The Head and The Heart, and Among Authors. As if that wasn't enough, I was joined in studio by Seattle band Colorworks to play brand new tracks from their soon to be released Dreams and Mangoes EP.” - Locals Only 107.7 The End 

“If you’ve been keeping an ear to the Seattle underground the past year or so, there’s a good chance that the name Colorworks rings a bell. This eclectic four-piece up-and-comer has been making waves in our local scene for a while now off the strength of their delirious and harmonious guitar-driven songs, and for their wild and inviting live performances. The band is recently coming off of a very well-received performance at the third annual Big BLDG Bash, and has plans to perform on the final day of this year’s Capitol Hill Block Party as well.” - Northwest Music Scene 

“The Seattle-based indie psych-pop quartet “Colorworks” features the impressive skills of songwriters and vocal duo Bret Dylan (guitar) and Nick Myette (bass) alongside percussionist Andrew Ginn and guitarist/keyboardist David Easton. Colorworks has made many fans in the Northwest with its high-voltage shows in support of their 2015 debut Joyla Red EP. The new double A-side release Dreams of Mangoes featuring two new songs, “Daydreams” and “Pears and Mangoes”, will be released June 22. “Daydreams” is the first single and video from Dreams of Mangoes . We love the hazy ’60s vibe and propulsive groove of this track. Maybe you will too! If so, you can buy the song for a buck at Colorworks’ Bandcamp store.” - The Big Takeover 

““Daydreams,the only yet released single off the forthcoming release, features some tunes perfect for this warm spring weather. With trippy guitar and layered chorus, this song focuses on daydreams on a sunny day. Featuring the lyrics “Petals shower down onto our heads beneath the trees we pass on our way,” “Daydreams” transports listeners to a colorful and inviting landscape of sound.” - Julia Olson 

COLORWORKS – JOYLA RED – EP REVIEW - 01/20/2016

“Colorworks has pulled it off decidedly-well on the Joyla Red EP and I can only imagine that this band will continually find new & exciting ways to blend-up ideas, sounds, moods and music that serve to even further define their own signature-style as they press on. Considering the great start Colorworks has on this new record…that’s a damn exciting thing to look forward to!” - Jer@SBS 

COLORWORKS - JOYLA RED - 11/17/2015


"Joyla Red opens with the most psych-sounding song on the record, “Joyla Red” which certainly takes cues from the likes of ‘60s psych pop icons like The Zombies and The Byrds. The opening guitar line runs parallel to so many opening riffs of Byrd’s songs that it seems more of an ode than a lack of originality. They use the riff again in the bridge, and the sitar peel effects are hinted at throughout the song." - Jamie Robash
