IT’S ALL INDIE//
Films of Colour are back, and not only that, they are back with a racey, pulsating, and lip smacking single!

LONDONIST//
If it were possible to give a song three thumbs up, Capital by Films of Colour would merit such a salute. First there’s the catchy guitar work. Second, the lead singer is called Andy Clutterbuck. And third, this might just be the most Londony music video of all time…[read more]
