About Colony House
Colony House’s fifth studio album, 77, is both a sonic departure and a spiritual arrival, a retro-futurist meditation on eternity, nostalgia, and the invisible threads that hold us together. Steeped in the aesthetics of 1990s sound, 77 finds the Tennessee-based four-piece—brothers Caleb and Will Chapman, alongside Scott Mills and Parke Cottrell—reaching beyond what can be seen, touched, or even easily explained.
"77, the number, means a lot of things to a lot of people,” Caleb explains. “Biblically, it’s the number of forgiveness. Spiritually, it represents completion or wholeness. For us, it's become a symbol of eternal perspective—a lens to look at love, loss, and life with a little more intention.” For a band that built its name on emotion-driven, heart-on-sleeve rock and roll, 77 is a natural evolution: a mature, longing album that doesn’t pretend to have all the answers but is brave enough to keep asking the questions.
