After cementing themselves in the scene with a wealth of rich and euphoric offerings these last few years, High Wycombe-based outfit Broken Colours returns once again to deliver their vibrant new single 'One Day'.
Channelling more of that smooth and swaggering indie-rock aesthetic they are known for, 'One Day' makes for an incredibly bright and enjoyable listen. With its broad and driven hooks measured perfectly against some wonderfully infectious vocals and horns throughout, they are returning with one of their most captivating efforts to date here.
So with the new single available to stream now, we sat down with them to find out more about their background and what has been inspiring them lately.
