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 body, 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 instincts 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 painted in shades of melancholy and hope.

“As Human” is out on September 5th, available on vinyl and all major streaming platforms.
