Excerpt: “Key to Colour Kane’s identity is the way in which they incorporate electronic elements into their music. ‘Eye Drops’ and ‘Astonish’ modernise the Cocteaus template with heavy beats running alongside the customary myriad of guitar effects whereas ‘Unseen’ aims for a fairly danceable sound. Proof - if it were needed - that their credentials are respected, Robin Guthrie himself guests on remix duties for ‘Seaside Dream’. Meanwhile, the serene ‘A Kiss In A Lowland’s Meadow’ is bathed in a beautiful glow of jangly noise whilst ‘Love Hurdles’ sees the ringing guitars dissipate into vapour trails… a strong album, which has all the hallmarks of what makes dreampop so alluring.”

Leonard’s Lair

Excerpt: “Colour Kane prove that dreampop is alive and well on their debut album. The band’s singer Marjan Snykers has a delightful voice and they’ve written some exceptional songs… The collaboration with the Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie, ‘Seaside Dream’, is a superlative effort that brings out the best in the band. A stellar debut all told.”

Luna Kafe 

Inky: The new Cocteau Twins for the next generation of dreampoppers. Ask Robin Guthrie. He knows.
Pinky: The impact of a marshmallow sledgehammer. Nice harmonies.
Blinky: Time-lapse of growing plants. Share my ease. Astonish. This. Unseen. A Kiss in a lowlands meadow. You get the picture.
Sue: Sleepy music, beautiful sparseness.

Hybrid Magazine 

Excerpt (translated from the Belgian): “The label ‘dreampop’, usually granted to bands that stand somewhere between the ethereal and shoegaze genre, is most suitable for Colour Kane, because apart from a dash of trip-pop flavour, that’s exactly the sound they represent… Marjan Snykers’ ethereal vocals fully match the cascades of guitar layers and the relaxing electronic beats… a precious disc that carries the listener along a 51-minute journey of floating dreams. Meet a Belgian band with international attitude. Definitely to be continued.”
