Article One Biography
Fusing the instant accessibility of pure pop/rock with an unrelenting indie rock
work ethic, Article One refuses to acknowledge the rift between art and faith.
Neither do they succumb to the myth that intellectual honesty must be dumbed
down to appeal to a mass audience. Instead, the Ontario, Canada-based foursome
eschewed any formulaic, by-the-numbers notion of what works and what doesn’t.
Embracing a broader musical palate, Article One spent seven months honing each
of the fourteen songs that would coalesce into its highly anticipated sophomore
project, Colors and Sounds. The writing process, facilitated by super-producer
Tedd T (Mute Math, newsboys), was grueling, but fruitful. “Tedd brought us to a
whole new level of professionalism,” explains Nathan Piché, the band’s
guitarist, pianist, and primary songwriter. “He pays so much attention to the
details. We asked him to push us on every aspect of our songwriting and
performance, and push he did.”
The band pushed too - sometimes for ten
drafts; sometimes for twenty, only satisfied with ‘perfect.’ “Looking back, it
was an awesome, though at times very frustrating, experience,” Nathan says. “I
think we are all big perfectionists,” Matt Piché, Article One’s eclectic
violinist adds. “But Tedd taught us more than perfection; he taught us
perspective.”
Where other bands yield to the sophomore slump, Article One
has ratcheted up the intensity and delivered an ear-catching collection of
fourteen innovative pop/rock songs. Colors and Sounds sports a grittier edge
than the band’s previous project. From the torrent of guitars and horns that
launch “Without You (I’m Not Alright),” to the massive violin orchestration on,
“Never Too Late To Call,” Article One surges with electricity. You can hear it
in the unrelenting drums of “Taken By The Storm,” the bold bass riffs on “Colors
and Sounds,” and quiet introspection of worship tune, “Above All
Else.”
Colors and Sounds is also marked by the band’s undeniably hooky
melodies and the unabashed passion that brought Article One this far. Anyone who
has witnessed Article One’s exhilarating live show - which was birthed in rec
halls and perfected on high-profile stages across the U.S. - will appreciate the
drive of Colors and Sounds.
“Our first record was very straightforward
pop/rock. The sound was very clean,” Nathan explains. “Our goal for Colors and
Sounds was to keep the pop/rock accessibility of the first record, while adding
more artistic elements, such as an emphasis on Matt’s violin because it is so
unique. More than just a collection of songs, this record has a lot of cool
moments and textures.”
Article One is equally proud of the lyrical
content on Colors and Sounds. “When you write a song, you write what you know,”
declares bassist Mark Laidman. “These songs are about life – ours, and the lives
of people around us.”
“Colors and Sounds is not a concept album, but it
does seem to revolve around the theme of purpose,” says Piché. “This project was
really birthed from personal experience, and while the message is very clear, I
think it is as accessible to non-believers as it is to believers. That was
important to us.”
“We have lived with these songs for the past seven
months,” Matt adds. “I can honestly say that every song is strong and together
they make a great album. In a day when people tend to buy only singles, this
project brings back the validity of purchasing an entire record. It’s solid from
start to finish
