FUEL/FRIENDS CHAPEL SESSIONS #6: FEAT. THE CHANGING COLORS

(PHOTO TAKEN FROM FUELFRIENDSBLOG.COM)

(From FuelFriendsBlog.com)

There is a sweet intuition in watching brothers playing or sisters singing together. Some of that familial DNA seems to weave its way through the verses, the octave changes and the rhythm shifts. When my sister and I sing together, it’s like singing with myself but in stereo. Watching Colorado Springs’ Conor and Ian Bourgal of The Changing Colors play together, it’s as if one person splintered into two – a river of fraternal goodness.

The Changing Colors on HeyReverb.com

Brothers Conor and Ian Bourgal are the Changing Colors. Steal a track from the Colorado Springs-based outfit's debut album below.

The Changing Colors revolve around twin brothers Conor and Ian Bourgal, who perform haunting, heartfelt songs of love and longing. On their debut album, “Ghost of Red Mountain,” the Bourgals take the notion of haunting a step further. The record — released by Pueblo’s Blank Tape Records — takes its inspiration from Emma Crawford, one of the most famous residents of tiny Manitou Springs, Colorado. Local lore has it that — sometime around the turn of the last century — Ms. Crawford’s coffin was washed out of its resting place on Red Mountain and floated right down Main Street.

The story of a dead pioneer woman floating through the streets of a mountain town fits perfectly with the spare, roomy Americana of the Changing Colors. With simple instrumentation, whiskey-roughened vocals and a sense that things could go very wrong at any moment, the brothers Bourgal tell stories and create atmospheres that will have you seeing ghosts.

The Changing Colors will perform at the Larimer Lounge this Thursday, Dec. 2, along with Jonny Woodrose and the Broken-Hearted Woodpeckers. Tickets are just $8. We’d like to get you warmed up for the show today by encouraging you to steal “That’s What My Love Is For.”
