Track of the Day: Crooked Colours “Hold On” (2019)

Midway through a packed tour of Australia and New Zealand, Crooked Colours have somehow found time to drop both a new album AND a new few singles. We’re stoked to be naming “Hold On”, from sophomore album Langata as today’s Track of the Day!

Of the track, band member Leon De Baughn says:

“I remember the idea for this track first came to me while I was driving home from the beach. We had just got back from touring in the US and getting back to our summer inspired this track. It started with the chords and the floating vocal line that ended up building into a club beat with the bouncing bass line.”
