Yam Haus is entering a new, colorful chapter with the release of their newest single, "Color You In." It's the trio's first taste of new music, arriving like a warm gust ahead of the calm winds of autumn, a soundtrack to love, longing, and the temperature-less feathering touch of human connection.
"Color You In" establishes an intimate vibe that grabs you with its air of both wordiness and charisma and won't let go. A breezy, unhurried first verse opens into lush, evocative lyricism. Lines like "It's just a fantasy Spinnin' like rotisserie" cut quotidian snapshots of infatuation into visceral, intoxicating rotisserie imagery. "Color You In" builds with understated intensity. Its pulsating, steady thrum echoes the restless nature of unexpressed desire.
For lead singer Lars Pruitt, "Color You In" embodies the pulsing marrow of attraction of any kind. "Attraction can be a very visceral experience," he says. It's an ardor that demands attention, that overwhelms because you want to be near someone and want to feel fulfilled by someone or having someone feel fulfilled by you." That yearning translates seamlessly into the "Color You In" soundscape, making it an ideal accompaniment to long drives, moments of solitude, and the last golden hours of summer.
With "Color You In," Yam Haus returns with a recognizable and newly inspired sound. Nostalgic but forward-facing, "Color You In" confirms that the band is more than prepared for its next chapter, which will be colorful.
