Colour Kane video on Angry Ape

The ace video for Colour Kane’s ‘Broken‘, taken from their critically acclaimed album A Taste Of, has been featured on music site Angry Ape. The song is described as “layered with dreamy sugared vocals, warm electronics, majestic guitar chimes and driven by fast-paced, drum ‘n’ bass beats”, which is bang on the mark.

New Toby Richardson Album Released

Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the new album Evergreen by Australian lo-fi rock magician Toby Richardson.

With all the playful irreverence of Robert Pollard and Pavement, Evergreen sees Toby laying down 10 songs of irrepressible lo-fi stadium rock. The album features wonky fist-in-the-air anthems that blend the catchy attack of The Kinks with the bluesy skronk of Captain Beefheart, through to bent pop-fuelled love songs that wind their way into your aorta like cupid’s heartworm.

New Colour Kane Music Video Released

Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the wonderful new music video for the track ‘Broken‘ taken from the gorgeous Colour Kane full length A Taste Of.

A Taste Of features no shortage of blissed-out material but perhaps no songs are more heavenly than the anthemic “Share My Ease,” “Silya,” and, yes, “Seaside Dream” which constitute as magnificent a sampling of dream-pop as you’re likely to hear in this lifetime. Especially magnificent, the Guthrie collab teleports Colour Kane into another stratosphere altogether for three-and-a-half minutes of pop perfection. Textura Magazine
