Do You Dream In Colour? EP

'Airport Girl's Do You Dream in Colour? EP is a stopgap measure between albums for {indie pop} stalwart Matinee. The band combines the instrumentation of a {chamber pop} outfit with the fervor of a traveling revival show and the songwriting skill of {Brill Building} pros. The EP's title track is a short {chamber pop} tune built around the haunting chord progression of Pachelbel's Canon in D with some suitably melancholic lead vocals. When You Fall is a spritely romp written by the band's trumpet player with propulsive drums and, not surprisingly, a hooky trumpet part. Easier to Smile is a short acoustic song recorded in the spirit of the Beach Boys' Party! record, written and sung in the spirit of the Cure's acoustic love songs. Been Waiting is another acoustic-based song, but it is a heartbreaker with aching harmonies and a mournful harmonica. The four songs here only hint at what the band can do, but fans will find it an essential addition to their album collections.' ~ Tim Sendra, All Music Guide
