Crooked Colours – Dirt Road Gold [LP]

Crooked Colours present Dirt Road Gold. The fourth album from the prolific Australian outfit, this record signifies the next chapter for the acclaimed Crooked Colours; dreamy, poignant and unapologetically emotionally vulnerable. As a body of work Crooked Colours (Philip Slabber) effortlessly genre-hops, from alternative euphoric builds to upbeat melodies to electronic stabs alongside his instantly recognisable heartbreaking vocals, stacked to perfection. Key singles Pink Limo, Come Thru and Im All Yours (feat. Georgi Kay) upholding the original elements Crooked Colours have become known for; yet with a modern 2026 approach proving an ever-evolving sonic escape. Title track Dirt Road Gold steps outside the traditional Crooked Colours sound; guitar plucks, raspy vocals and train rhythm snare. Truly highlighting Slabbers storytelling ability in that space. Bookended by Oxford and Honey Dog encapsulating the Crooked Colours aesthetic as a whole, delicate instrumentation and catchy sing-a-long hooks.
