Hidden Shoal Recordings, today announced the pre-release of the album, “A Taste Of” by Belgian dream pop outfit, Colour Kane.

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.- Press Release Excerpt.

“A Taste Of” is now available as a pre-release exclusively from the HSR Store. The album will see official release in May 2007 where it will be available from all good digital music stores such as Itunes, eMusic, Sony Connect and Rhapsody. Listen to the album in full here.

The Wes Willenbring album, “Somewhere Someone Else“, will be featured on the excellent Nowlikephotographs show on Radio K Sunday the 18th of March, 4-6pm central U.S time. You can tune in on your radio if you live in Minneapolis or stream the show online by clicking on “Listen Now” at the Radio K website. If you can’t catch the show live then you can always listen to the podcast here.

Excerpt - “There’s a touch of Arcade Fire, a dollop of Broken Social Scene, while some of the tracks are peppered with experimental guitar work, reminiscent of Sonic Youth…….The Hero Cycle, however, have a knack of bringing their own unqiue burst of energy to the table, proving they have a superb handle of euphoric indie-rock theatrics.”

Boring Machines Disturb Sleep
