Comment: behind Bigcolour hides himself Brian Brissart, an DIY musician from Chicago, Illinois, USA who provides a set of truly colourful, sonorous ditties with "lazy" yet very catchy harmonic hooks. His vocal is a formidable instrument running in the vein of the doo wop tradition, furthermore, showing up a close connection between it and nowadays glo-fi music (especially Nostalgic Ataraxy). However, the singing is backed up with billowy guitar treatments and clattery drum punches now and then. On the other side, the issue is comparable to the likes of Animal Collective, and Ganglians, thanks to its restraint, arranged (post-)psychedelic expells - Salte Ciclo is a mesmerizing endeavour coming out of the tradition of this US-based new wave/New Weird America movement.
