Gone to Color

Gone To Color is the rock/pop/electronic duo Tyler Bradley Walker and Matt Heim, formed in Cincinnati and now split between Atlanta and Washington, DC. If you don’t recognize those names, there’s a good chance someone on their self-titled debut album’s staggering guest list will pique your interest. We’re talking Martina Topley-Bird. Pat Sansone of Wilco. Angus Andrew of Liars. Ade Blackburn of Clinic. Carson Cox of Merchandise. Kurt Wagner of Lambchop. Tortoise’s John McEntire engineered it at his Soma Studios, with co-production by indie rock legend Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Califone, Iron & Wine).


Brian Deck's "hallucinogenic hi-fi" (Stereogum), that illuminates some of the greatest albums by Modest Mouse and Iron and Wine, pervades Gone to Color's innovative approach to rock and electronic instrumentation. The duo's eclecticism makes categorization hard to pin down, especially due to Heim and Walker synthesizing their instrumental compositions through open collaborations with dozens of other artists.

“[Gone to Color] put their talents to use, crafting songs with refreshingly original chord progressions, intricately-layered synth voicings and deeply resonant moods.” - American Songwriter

“Crafting a supreme fusion of instrumental works and electronica
with an impeccable pedigree of vocalists, the Cincinnati natives [Gone to Color] have coalesced
a wide array of genres and lyricists into an exquisitely refined self-titled album.” - Musicology
