Coloured Clocks: The New You
“The New You” – A Transformational Journey Through Psychedelic Soundscapes
by Jack Rush
Since 2011, Coloured Clocks — the music project of London-based Australian James Wallace — has carved out a unique niche in the psychedelic indie world. Originally formed in Melbourne before relocating to Cologne and eventually settling in London, the evolution of the project’s sound mirrors Wallace’s geographic journey: constantly shifting, deeply introspective, and refreshingly unpredictable.
With a prolific catalogue that spans over a decade, Coloured Clocks has become known for its atmospheric textures, existential lyricism, and unusual yet compelling chord progressions. The music flows between dreamy and dissonant, always underpinned by a subtle melodic intuition that feels both familiar and otherworldly.
The latest release, “The New You”, continues this tradition with a theme of transformation — the kind one undertakes in search of deeper truth. It’s a fitting addition to the project’s introspective lineage, offering listeners a sonic space to reflect on change, identity, and renewal.
Coloured Clocks has long been a quiet staple in the indie blogosphere, with coverage from outlets like Largehearted Boy, Goldflake Paint, Tone Deaf, We Write About Music, The Fire Note, and The 405, among many others. “The New You” reaffirms why so many ears have been tuned in for years — this is music that grows with you, challenges you, and ultimately transforms you.
