LOS ANGELES, Nov 15 ― Australian outfit Miami Horror has shared the new track “Colours in the Sky,” boosting it into the Hype Machine’s most blogged artists chart, while Trails and Ways appear in the chart on November 15 with a bossa nova take on a track by R&B singer Frank Ocean.
Miami Horror recently returned after a more than two-year hiatus with the track “Real Slow,” and now the band is back with “Colours in the Sky” featuring guest vocals by Cleopold.
“Vocals from Cleopold capture the feel good energy and add a floating melody on top of Miami Horror’s enchanting chords. It all makes for a perfect example of what these guys do well,” writes Earmilk. Deadly Music! says the track "amalgamates space rock, indie pop and a bit of 60s Motown to create something of a magnificent head trip."

Okaland-based quartet Trails and Ways has shared a cover of Frank Ocean’s “Lost” on Soundcloud, writing, “one of our favourite songs ever. I always felt bossa in its soul.”
"Trails and Ways have managed to take the addictive tune 'Lost' and create their own indie soothing spin to it. It's got a chill vibe that does not disappoint," writes Sunset in the Rearview.
The track will be released in 2014 as part of a Nonmarket covers compilation. Listen to “Lost” here.
