  • Colourbox were an English electronic musical group on the 4AD label, releasing a number of records between 1982 and 1987. The band was formed by brothers Martyn and Steve Young, Ian Robbins, and vocalist Debbion Currie. Currie and Robbins left the band in 1983, with the role of vocalist being filled by Lorita Grahame. Colourbox stood apart from their then-4AD labelmates – bands such as Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, and This Mortal Coil (although the Young brothers contributed to tracks on the latter project's first two albums It'll End in Tears and Filigree & Shadow). Their sound was eclectic, drawing from reggae and soul influences (with covers of tracks by U-Roy and Augustus Pablo released as singles), beat-box driven hip-hop rhythms, blue-eyed soul, as well as a fusion of far-ranging influences spanning from classic R&B, to dub and industrial.

Colourbox se démarque de ses compagnons de label d'alors 4AD - des groupes tels que Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins et This Mortal Coil (bien que les frères Young aient contribué à des morceaux sur les deux premiers albums de ce dernier projet It'll End in Tears et Filigree & Shadow ). Leur son, éclectique, s'inspirait d'influences reggae et soul (avec des reprises de titres de U-Roy et Augustus Pablo sortis en singles), de rythmes hip-hop axés sur le beat-box, de Blue-eyed soul, ainsi que d'une fusion de diverses influences allant du R&B classique au dub jusqu'à la musique industrielle.
