The Colourfield’s The Sound Of The Colourfield Reviewed: When Terry Hall and Pals Went “Folky Pop”
The Colourfield’s new box set, The Sound Of The Colourfield, compiles the band’s two 1980s albums, a wealth of demos, B‑sides and live footage into a 96‑track collection. Their debut, Virgins And Philistines, delivered the summery folk‑pop hit “Thinking Of You,” which peaked at No. 12 in the UK and lifted the album to the same chart position. The follow‑up, Deception, suffered from producer Richard Gottehrer’s glossy, synthetic approach and internal tensions, resulting in a less cohesive sound. The set highlights Terry Hall’s enduring folk‑pop sensibility, which later informed his solo work and subsequent collaborations.
