The Colour of Madness is Jacob Brant, a musician working in the post-ambient field. He has previously released work under his own name, alongside collaborations with other artists. Jacob lives in Margate, where he curates a series of experimental music events under the name Superliminal.
“Sundowning” is an exploration of the electric guitar within the post-ambient and post-noise landscapes. Recorded over a chaotic period in a mixture of studios, living rooms, and late-night liminal spaces across the UK and Europe, “Sundowning” is as much a document of time as it is a musical statement. Some pieces were meticulously crafted, whereas others originated as lo-fi mobile phone recordings of improvised sessions, later transformed through artful processing into post-ambient, electroacoustic compositions. The electric guitar is the primary source material, though it’s often rendered unrecognisable — submerged under textures, stretched into drones or fractured into shadowy melodic fragments. The album also features haunting vocals, field recordings and acoustic instruments, all woven into a layered tapestry of memory and emotion. Out now on Cruel Nature Records.
