"Is That You" was recorded in spring at Momentum Studios on the outskirts of Plymouth. Its four tracks relate specific incident with analytic attention to detail, characters from life and fiction put under the magnifying glass. "Billy Pilgrim" is a desperate declaration of love. "Charlie" unravels the film reel of a first semester. The pets left behind write "The Book of Her Life". Adolescent crisis is relived "In Your Cathedral". Josiah J Manning is a member of blues rock outfit the Kris Barras Band and has produced material with indie artists including The Native and Plastic Tramps amidst an eclectic discography. His influence on "Is That You" cannot be overstated, imbuing the record with self-assured immediacy and losing nothing of Colour TV's live dynamism.
