Perth, Western Australia and Antwerp, Belgium April 24th, 2007. The Australian digital music label, Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the official release of the debut album, “A Taste Of” by the Belgian dream pop outfit, Colour Kane. The Album Featuring a collaboration with Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins fame, “A Taste Of ” is laden with honey coated, magisterial guitars, sweeping electronics and lush vocals. The title track encapsulates the album with its exquisite interplaying guitars ringing out against the ethereal voice of Marjan Snykers. As with the rest of the album, this song finds that unique emotive space where sonic majesty and melodic craftsmanship paint the sky with a rich and immersive melancholy. 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 The Band Colour Kane are one of the new breed of dream popsters. The band deliver cascading guitars and sweet soaring vocals propelled by driving bass and electronic beats. Colour Kane’s music draws a wonderful arc that both defines and divides melancholy and bliss. Where so much dream pop is described through aesthetic alone, Colour Kane radiate atmosphere and shifted emotion wrapped in jewelled blankets and honey gauze. The band’s music found Robin Guthrie, who offered his support, ultimately leading to the band supporting Robin during his Lumière shows in Belgium. “A Taste Of ” is now available from all good digital music stores including Itunes, eMusic, Sony Connect and Rhapsody as well as the HSR Store.
