Get Smart! - Numbers And Colours
Review by Jireh Kriek
Get Smart!'s album Numbers And Colours is a unique and refreshing addition to the indie rock scene. The band's catchy melodies and clever lyrics are complemented by their use of unconventional instruments such as the ukulele and glockenspiel.
The album's opening track, "Red and Blue," sets the tone with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. "Green Light" and "Yellow Sun" are equally catchy, with their infectious hooks and sing-along choruses.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Purple Haze," a dreamy ballad that showcases the band's versatility and musical range. "Black and White" is another standout track, with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics.

They re-recorded this song for their 1984 album, it's a bit faster and a bit longer there. The whole album is also on Youtube and worth checking out!

Great band. Great tune. I was really young and met them at a gas station at 23rd & Louisiana and they gave me this flexi-disc. They were on the way out of town to play somewhere up north. They made an indelible impression on me. Thanks for posting these tracks!
