New single marks the band’s first release since 2021 — new album lands in August via SoundOn
If you thought The Technicolors had disappeared into the fuzz, think again. The Arizona-bred, psych-tinged garage rock outfit has reemerged from the shadows with “Posh Spice,” their first new track in four years — and yes, it’s every bit as cheeky as the name suggests.
Produced by GRAMMY-nominated studio heavy Robert Adam Stevenson (Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills) and featuring BRONCHO’s Nathan Price on drums, “Posh Spice” leans all the way into grime and glamour. It’s a swampy little number: thick, sludgy riffs, Britpop sneer, and a sneaky melodic hook that might make you question if you’ve somehow wandered into an alternate-reality Oasis b-side.
“‘Posh Spice’ started as a riff Sean [Silverman] was messing with between takes,” frontman Brennan Smiley says. “It spiraled into this weird, fun tension between toughness and glam, like trudging through the mud but with your best leather jacket on.”
The Video: Snake Oil and Spandex Dreams
The single arrives with a surreal, smirking music video directed by Jarod Evans. Smiley stars as a wannabe messiah-slash-snake-oil-salesman peddling mystical answers to bored suburbanites — a wink to both vintage infomercials and modern-day rebrands. There’s even a hotline: dial 555-ZEST if you’re feeling particularly Spice-deprived.
Despite the radio silence, the band insists they never actually left. After the 2021 release of Cinema Sublimina, they hit pause—not to disappear, but to regroup. “We’d been running ourselves into the ground trying to keep pace with everything,” Smiley explains. “So we let things breathe for a bit. And the wild part? Our music only got more popular.”
He’s not wrong. In the so-called downtime, the band’s catalog quietly crossed 100 million Spotify streams, positioning them for what they call “the biggest chapter yet.” And with TikTok’s SoundOn now backing them, The Technicolors are officially entering their label era.
The Album: Coming This August, Made the Old-School Way
Their as-yet-untitled fourth studio album is due out this August — written the old-fashioned way: in rooms with actual humans. Call it a pivot back to the basics, or maybe just a band that’s weathered a few storms and come out the other side louder and more deliberate.
For now, there’s “Posh Spice.” It’s grimy. It’s glittery. It’s got a pulse. And for a rock band in 2025, that’s saying something.
About the band (for the SEO gods): The Technicolors first made noise in 2012 with a sound stitched from Britpop shadows and sun-bleached desert riffs. With a lineup currently spread between Los Angeles and Nashville, the band includes Brennan Smiley, Sean Silverman, Nico Nicolette, and Kim Vi. Their past hits include “Tonight You Are Mine,” “Neon Roses,” and “Space Cadet.” Their new era starts now.
