Excerpt: “We all tend to live in our own flatland existence, sometimes not pausing to look up and see the endless space that exists beyond our understanding. Colour Kane musically encourage us to do exactly that… This is musical art set within a dream pop aesthetic that revives any flagging belief in the future of this style of music. Sensual cinematic styling successfully encourages our burnt out imaginations to take five, lie back, and contemplate the clouds… The album is a trip well worth taking for anyone who appreciates experimental, electronic, dream pop at its finest. There are many levels beyond the flat horizon of the Flemish lowlands. If you can’t see them yourself, Colour Kane will push open the clouds and take you there.”

Blog Critics

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.”

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.”

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.
