Irish indie band Columbia Mills have released their new single ‘You’re Not The Answer’. 2019 saw Columbia Mills release two singles from their highly anticipated sophomore album ‘CCTV'(17/04); ‘Strange Game’ and ‘Who Am I Supposed To Talk To Now?’ garnered huge radio support here and in the UK including John Kennedy Radio X, RTE Radio 1, Ed Smith (Today FM) choosing Columbia Mills as his Play Irish Artist of the week and ‘Recent and Decent’ on Today FM, Dan Hegartys (2FM) Track of The Week, and heavy rotation on Paul Mc Loones Today FM show, as well as heavy airplay across all national and regional radio stations. 2020 has already seen the release of ‘UNDERSTAND’ (31/01/20), the third single from ‘CCTV’ which also received huge radio support. 

Drenched in ethereal melancholia, ‘You’re Not The Answer’ is an utterly heartbreaking, emotive display from Columbia Mills. Simple in its approach, the track laments through airy guitars and a fluctuant rhythm. The track broods to a smoky start as the sombre vocals ooze emotion which hits you right in the chest. The bittersweet guitar gracefully and elegantly caresses the drum beat with a majestic and respectful tenderness which absorbs and captures every emotion within this bruised moment. Soft backing vocals soothe the haunting soundscape as the band build the song for the moving crescendo. This well crafted track is a timeless emotion- filled number that just hints at this band’s wonderful musicianship and potential.
