Yellow6 Painted Sky CD

A debut on Resonant from a man with a wealth of back catalog on labels such as Enraptured, Darla, Bearos, Ochre, Awkward Silence and many more, spanning almost a decade. Yellow 6 is the solo project of Jon Attwood, a guitarist based in Leicestershire (the first UK-based artist to release an album on Resonant!) who has released six full length albums, five live albums and one remix album, on top of several mini-albums and EPs, singles and contributions to numerous compilations. Painted Sky was recorded between 2004 and 2006, and strips away many of the layers of previous outings, resulting in a collection of melodic, organic guitar and piano sound atmospheres backed with subtle percussion. More ambient than post rock, Painted Sky draws comparisons to Labradford, Cocteau Twins, Durutti Column, Slowdive, Windy & Carl and Erik Satie, as opposed to the quiet/loud exponents; this is quiet/quiet, with an overall air of wistful melancholy. The previous releases of Yellow 6 have established a solid following, both in terms of fan base and press.
