[[It was no accident. Back in January, after reading a post on the blog I Guess 
I’m Floating, we featured Blind Man’s Colour as a band to watch in 2009.

Not long after, Kanye West (yup, that Kanye West) gave a thumbs up to the band (
and their art?) on his personal blog and linked back to our post. Needless to say,
a nod from Kanye, and kudos from fellow bloggers, was enough to get the attention
of various record labels.

The St. Petersburg, Florida musical duo that comprise Blind Man’s Colour is Orhan
Chettri and Kyle Wyss. The guys create dreamy, trippy, chorus laden and synthesized
electro pop with obvious influences from Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and Animal
Collective (more about that below).

Last week, and not surprisingly, Chettri and Wyss announced that they had signed
with Kanine Records to release their full length debut Season Dreaming this summer.
We have been listening to the demos of Season Dreaming from BMC for six weeks now
and look forward to the studio release.

While those demos are no longer available on the band’s blog, there are plenty of
other songs available for free from the band’s EPs 2006 – 2007 Recordings and Rainbow
Faces to unreleased [solo work](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/chromatic-flights.html)
recorded by Wyss under the moniker Chromatic Flights.

Here is a selection of the band’s downloadable songs from the band’s free EPs.

“Waterfall Freedom” – Blind Man’s Colour from The Rainbow Faces EP
“Heliocentrics(
Tell Me Why I Fall)” – Blind Man’s Colour from 2006-2007 Recordings

The following video is the only known video featuring the band. It was filmed and
produced by a fellow high school friend Sean Sekas for his digital film class.

And the beat goes on; the duo also released four cover songs from Animal Collective’s
masterpiece Merriweather Post Pavilion. The covers are available as part of compilation
produced by a group of independent musicians who met up on an Animal Collective 
message board. BMC’s covers are quite impressive, as are a few others. Download

we published on BMC, here is an awesome song – the one that really created the ‘
blogger buzz’ about BMC – and a good indication of what their debut LP will sound
like.
