When she’s not moonlighting as back-up singer for acclaimed retro/pop group "the bird and the bee" (Bluenote), Alex Lilly is painstakingly crafting the artful electronic pop of COLORFORMS. Frequently appearing live as a quartet, Colorforms exhibits a compositional sensibility that’s as at home with Stereolab as it is with Prokofiev.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxColorforms is a Los Angeles-area band featuring the ethereal voice of Alex Lilly. In a crowded field of sometimes-electronic chanteuse/auteurs (see also Bjork, Feist, Cibelle, Colleen, Psapp, etc), Lilly’s subversive songwriting, patient composition and impressive production announce an artist to be reckoned with. -Tofu Hutxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSweet Vocals, crystalline piano, keyboards and guitars over puzzle-like signatures -- Colorforms is about that. This new-ish Eastside quartet a sort of aesthetic pop refinement that’s lacking in this dirt-or-diamonds metropolis. - LA Alternativexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWe’ve been anxious to hook up with Colorforms since stumbling across one of their shows last year. They’re just a fantastic band that will remind you of all the things you love about Swede pop, 60’s grooves, and Minty Fresh records. Plus their video for "Nothing Can Come Between Us" just kills. -- LA Underground
