When a member of a close circle dies by suicide, the silence left behind asks hard questions about how well we truly know one another. For Australian alt-country artist Shane Nicholson, the 2019 death of his friend and fellow musician Glen Hannah became both a wound and a compass, orienting his eleventh album, Living In Colour, toward the difficult work of genuine connection. Recorded largely in solitude during pandemic lockdowns, the record holds two truths at once: that friendship must be actively tended, and that the world beyond those friendships grows harder to trust.
