Excerpt from the Article : Transcendent is a lofty word to apply to a piece of music, or its songwriters. But I really can’t resist it when I’m listening to a piece by Heavy Color. Even just the name of this Toledo-based avant-psychedelia/electronica duo would be indicative of their characteristics — a build toward, or a cadenced acceleration toward — a sort of elevation beyond the weight of existence and ascending into the sublime polychromatic patchworks of an idealized vision — a waking dream. And, yes, their aspirations are typically that high when they approach a new production, but the listener’s experience is infinitely more chill, soul-calming, and altogether load-lightening.
