“Colorado” by Milky Chance

Milky Chance's "Colorado" arrived as a single on 18 June 2021, one of the tracks on Trip Tape, the German folk-rock band's first compilation, and it's a breezy, strutting tune with a confession tucked inside. Singer and guitarist Clemens Rehbein has explained that it's about indulging and overcompensating, giving in to destructive or weak moments while knowing they won't get you anywhere in the long run, and that it signs off with a wink. Wonderland heard it as an upbeat song about the unease of relationships gone wrong, and horse tranquilizer.

It's a four-way write between Rehbein, Philipp Maximilian Dausch, Joacim Bo Persson and Sebastian Arman, with the two band members sharing the production with Decco. Vincent Sylvain's video, out the same day, was shot in a grand but faded hotel dressed up as the late 1970s.
