“We hope these songs invite you to dance, to feel, and to reconnect with the simple joy of being alive.”
You don’t need to be a synesthete to appreciate the interconnected nature of all things, and you definitely don’t need to taste light or see music to fall in love with Colors Make a Sound, the impressive debut album by Pink Breath of Heaven. Made up of Liv Field, Rex John Shelverton, and Mario Cataruzolo, the band carves out a spot somewhere between the energetic, drum-driven psych rock of Stereolab and the ethereal fuzzed out shoegaze of Cocteau Twins.
Shelverton is quite experienced in experimenting within this fertile, storied landscape, thanks to his previous work with Tamaryn and Bellavista. But we expect that many newcomers to Pink Breath of Heaven will most immediately connect with the soaring, smoky vocals of Liv Field. After all, it’s one thing to assemble the right guitars and studio techniques to produce shoegaze, but there’s no reproducing the magical singular quality of a voice that rises, falls, and shimmers through the music with ease.
Out now on Portland’s Little Cloud Records.
See Pink Breath of Heaven this Saturday, May 17 at Civic Center Plaza playing a free show alongside Son Rompe Pera, Fake Fruit, Marina Fages, Pure Hex, Juicebumps, Pork Belly, Cosmic Kitten, Buzzed Lightbeer, La Sombra, and Pink Stiletto as part of Tenderloin Fest 2025.
