Imagine Nick Drake cheering up a bit and living long enough to work with Beck. That's the sound of Colour Film. Colour Film is Matthew de Zoete, a songwriter from Hamilton, ON, who combines pop and folk into songs built on honest lyrics and strong melodies. His latest offering "What Are We Living For Now?" captures that moment in the middle of the night when life's big questions raise their heads. Produced by Les Cooper (Jill Barber, Good Lovelies, Madison Violet), it features a backing band of Joel Stouffer (Dragonette), Mark McIntyre (Danny Michel, Emma-Lee), and Robbie Grunwald (Jill Barber, Justin Rutledge). This song calls for a darkened room and a glass of single malt. Since 2006, Matthew has released three albums and toured relentlessly throughout North America and Europe, earning a reputation for smart songwriting and prudent driving. He has shared the stage with musicians such as Dear Rouge, Luke Doucet, Jenn Grant, and Great Lake Swimmers, and he's performed at many festivals including North by Northeast, Canadian Music Week, JUNOfest, The Greenbelt Harvest Picnic, Supercrawl, In the Dead of Winter (Halifax), and Stukafest (Netherlands).
