With their beginnings back in 2021 after the release of their debut album "Agape", The Color of Cyan, a band originating from Chicago and Puerto Rico, not only marked a milestone within the independent music scene thanks to their approach that combines the experimental with artistic virtuosity, which managed to captivate hundreds of thousands of listeners around the world, but also, the very conception of this band represented a true revolution within a music industry that feels increasingly saturated, with compositions that often seem packaged for quick consumption.

On the contrary, this talented band, formed by the great creative minds Eduardo Cintron, Henry Cole, and Jorge Santana, chose to adhere to the very concept of music and to the significance that art holds for the human experience, with compositions born from the heart, meant to be appreciated, enjoyed, and contemplated with care by all those who connect with that profound sensitivity that only this discipline itself can offer.

Far from chasing commercial formulas, the trio has managed to build a language of their own, grounded in the exploration of textures, atmospheres, and nuances that invite listeners to pay close attention to each of their songs. “The Day We Met”, “Luz”, and “When Autumn” are clear proof of this. However, it was not until 2023, with the release of their second studio album titled Egress, that they managed to consolidate their artistic identity, thus establishing themselves as a project with a solid foundation, while also managing to expand their horizons, exploring new styles, combining new genres and sounds that would ultimately showcase their true potential and versatility.

On this occasion, The Color of Cyan invites us to experience a highly captivating and immersive sonic journey with “Hail The Mountains (Live From Electrical Audio)”, where, accompanied by numerous musicians who, with indescribable mastery, join the band with a spectacular string ensemble that manages to give rise to a musical synergy that not only fits perfectly with the very essence of the band but also amplifies it.

This spectacular piece, throughout its 7 minutes and 33 seconds of duration, not only offers a dynamic listening experience but is also accompanied by a stunning video that captures the energy of the live performance, inviting us to immerse ourselves even further into the remarkable world of The Color of Cyan.

“Hail The Mountains” also carries a very special significance, as it is part of their most recent release, As Human, a spectacular collection of seven songs with a total duration of 44 minutes, where this track arrives as the crowning jewel that closes this remarkable work.

Recently released on September 5, 2025, As Human is now available on all streaming platforms, and it is a release you definitely cannot miss. You can find it below.
