The Color Forty Nine is a San Diego-based band that features musicians who have been members in band such as as the Black Heart Procession, the Album Leaf, and Maquiladora.
The band are preparing for the release of their new album, String Ladders, which is due out on July 23rd. They’ve shared the album’s lead single, the enchanting “Another World.” In some ways, the song feels like the sort of epic folk ballad that you have heard before, delivered with a big cinematic scope that you could imagine playing during a pivitol scene in a big motion picture.
It has a big emotional scope but also delivers its folk-themed instrumentals in a delicate and deliberate way that still manages to find a way to get completely stuck in your head, as well as your heart.
Enjoy a listen to “Another World” below.
