Sounds Like: "Sleep Patterns (is) a seven song warning, announcing Colonies' ambient and intellectual arrival to the world of new-school indie rock."
---The Weekly Volcano
"Colonies is probably the best indie rock band that you haven’t heard of. Yet."
---Redefine Magazine
"...Colonies combines intelligence and ambience. Gentle keys and samples flavor heavy, bombastic percussion courtesy of Centoni, while Shumate's ethereal vocals float above the band's instrumentals. Crystal-clear guitar work cuts through the haunting, atmospheric quality of Colonies' songs, and the band somehow remains sonically captivating even in tense moments of quiet noise."
---The News Tribune
"...music that constantly recalls the moments after a summer storm. The rapid-fire cymbal action of drummer Adrian Centoni is a perfect counterbalance to the weary vocals coming from Travis Shumate. Their newest album, Sleep Patterns, is another chance to bolster your musical IQ."
