BIOGRAPHY

The Color of Cyan creates emotive instrumental music, seamlessly merging cinematic post-rock, ambient textures, and moving orchestral arrangements. Their sound is defined not only by its intensity but by its fragility—music that embraces both beauty and devastation, subtlety and scale.

Their 2021 debut full-length album, ‘Agape,’ introduced this identity with haunting clarity. It is a multi-layered album that patiently builds in pressure and impact while heading squarely toward monolithic detonation.

With 2023’s ‘Egress,’ the band refined that approach further, guiding each song with emotional precision and depth. Through delicate layering, the string quartet in ‘Egress’ became a study of introspective emotion, with layered harmonies sweeping like wind, capturing the ache of departure, change, and reflection.

Now, with their third studio album, ‘As Human,’ The Color of Cyan expands their sound further with organic and abstract compositions that are central to the record’s identity—From the swelling resilience of ‘Hail the Mountains’ to the cathartic tension of ‘Oubao Moin,’ the album feels like a film without words—an exploration of what it means to be fragile, to endure, and to feel deeply.

The Color of Cyan continues to chart its path through instrumental music. Across each release, they invite listeners into vast emotional landscapes—where chaos and calm coexist, and humanity is both questioned and celebrated.

Cinematic post-rock The Color of Cyan announces third album, As Human.

The blurred lines between fragility and force, between the human spirit and the vast, unknowable world, have long shaped the sonic vision of The Color of Cyan. With the release of their third album, As Human, the band furthers their exploration of these liminal spaces—where memory and emotion swell and collapse like waves against a forgotten shore.

As Human reaches toward a visceral reckoning with identity, places, and social expectations. The album's title track, "As Human," serves as its emotional axis—an elegiac crescendo that aches with quiet intensity before unraveling into cathartic release. The string quartet melodies circle and swell, adding depth to the song's slow-burning resistance and spiritual resolve. It's a meditation on vulnerability and the small triumphs that come with choosing to feel, even when it hurts.

"Oubao Moin," whose title references the indigenous Taíno name for Puerto Rico, bridges ancestral memory with present-day reckoning. Layers of guitar stretch like distant thunder beneath melodic fractures, evoking a haunted beauty born of resistance and remembrance. It's a sonic invocation—less a song than a ritual.

The closing track, "Hail the Mountains," is a towering ode to resilience. With swelling orchestration and tremolo-driven peaks, the band captures the sublime tension between permanence and solitude, grandeur and stillness. It's a soundscape carved into stone, echoing long after the final note fades into an acoustic denouement.

With As Human, The Color of Cyan delivers their most emotionally resonant and compositionally ambitious record yet. The album unfolds like a film without dialogue—each track a scene of overwhelming emotion, painted in shades of melancholy and hope.

As Human is out on August 1, available in vinyl and on all major streaming platforms.
