Good Color to play brand new album at Logan City Limits

In the living room of the Good House, band headquarters, the four members of Good Color sat huddled on the living room couch along with their two dogs. While awaiting their signature pizza order from Dominos, a thin crust pie with mushrooms and spinach, the musicians discussed their excitement over their upcoming show and their newly finished album.

They opened up boxes and envelopes, revealing one of the things they’re most excited for about the upcoming show — their brand-new merchandise.  

“We’ll have a really fun clothing rack of each piece of merch being completely unique with different stitch patterns and thread color,” said Spencer Felix, the lead singer.  

At Logan City Limits, the band will be selling thrifted T-shirts, all hand-embroidered locally at Kimber Bell Designs. Along with Felix’s vision for sustainable, unique shirts are pins, hand-written lyrics in frames, and prints of their new albums cover art. 

Featured in most of these pieces is a quadrilateral, a shape dear to the group. 

“It’s kind of stuck as a repeating, striking and familiar shape to represent our band,” said Miles Larkin, the guitarist who developed the idea of the shape. 

The quadrilateral will be featured on this album cover as well, along with the merchandise.  

The four artists said they’re excited to perform their brand-new album titled “Good Color” at the show on April 14. 

Felix explained the album to be full of flavor and color. It will showcase Good Colors artistic exploration.  

That exploration combines to create six tracks with intentional lyrics and notes. Good Color spent hours on creating an intentional album with every song in its place for a reason, Felix said.

Felix compared creating the album to pulling fruit from an apple tree. Good Color has filled their baskets with fruit and soon will be making applesauce at Logan City Limits.   

Nicole Steinicke plays the synth and plans to open the show along with a childhood friend, Tim Tincher.  

When Tincher and Steinicke met they had different music tastes. According to Steinicke, the friendship began with Tincher having to prove that pop music was cool and being a Britney Spears fan was valid. Now the two have similar taste and collaborate to bring live music to audiences.  

Tincher has never played live and made all five of his albums digitally. 

“I’ve kind of embraced that medium,” Tincher said. “It’s awesome to have Nicole playing these shows with me. She has a really great ear for the types of sounds that complement these songs.” 

Steinicke plays synths, an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals.  

The band has supported Tincher since his 2015 project, “Paradigm,” and continues to support him by giving his art the opportunity to be appreciated live.  

“They’re incredible at building beautiful sounds in addition to contributing to a blooming art community here in Northern Utah,” Tincher said. 

The mix of music will bring something for everyone in the audience. 

“Danceable moments and sad boy moments. But very organic,” said Alek Nelson, drummer. 

 “Everything’s cohesive even though there’s a lot of different types of beats and music to have show.” 

The band plans to perform everything from the EP and follow their tradition of opening with the first song ever made together: Goldilocks, which was released in 2021.
