Colourmusic’s Ryan Hendrix recently did an interview with Alibi, an alternative weekly in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in which he revealed the band’s plans for their first full-length album.

In May, Colourmusic will release its first-ever full-length album on Warner Brothers’ subsidiary Great Society Records. The Orange LP fuses songs from the Red and Yellow EPs, with one new song completing the package. Hendrix is confident the two colors will inform and complement each other, and he’s happy to finally have an album under the band’s belt.

As for Colourmusic’s new label, Hendrix says his band is fine with taking baby steps. “Great Society is kind of like an A&R label for Warner Brothers for bands they’re not sure about,” Hendrix says. “I’m very happy being with Great Society because I know a few bands that started out on big labels, and that’s a lot of pressure. I think it’s good to be small and be who you are for a while and not have to sell a billion records.”

Colourmusic kicks off a twelve-date tour, supporting British Sea Power, tonight in San Diego.
