The Colours That Rise. London production duo, multi-instrumentalists Simeon Jones and Nathanael Williams. After their 2017 EP '2020', they joined Rhythm Section International with the single 'Home Time' (December 2019), with drummer Yussef Dayes and guitarist Mansur Brown. Their debut album, Grey Doubt (May 1st, 2020), is 15 tracks of live playing and analogue synths, with guests Yussef Dayes, Andrew Ashong and Yazmin Lacey. 'Atmosphere' is track 11. They call it an audio documentary about 'a secret history, or what some people might call a conspiracy theory.' In their words, they're 'just two guys with a broken tape machine.' Yazmin Lacey is based in Nottingham and came up through Gilles Peterson's Future Bubblers program. Her debut album Voice Notes came out in 2023, then Teal Dreams (October 24th, 2025).
