Colorama Podcast 37 - People Make The World Go Round
Podcast 37 - People Make The World Go Round by Colorama on Mixcloud
Well hello again. Keeping warm and dry? We hope so.
We’ve been travelling a lot lately. These are some tunes we’ve picked up along the way, or ones that have soundtracked our travels. We were lucky enough to get the complete works of The Folk Crusaders in Tokyo, and the complete works of Nilsson in Cardiff. The Sea and Cake from America, and Flica from Malaysia, are great new discoveries. New stuff from Bibio, Cornelius and Bill Callahan makes us happy. The Painted Veil is a film we discovered recently with a great and evocative soundtrack. The Trwbador and William Onyeabor albums are getting a lot of play here. As is the incredible Cosmic Machine compilation.
All good stuff, by some very talented people, we’re sure you’ll agree.
People make the world go round!

We’re proud to announce the release of our new EP, ‘Heaven’s Hotel’ on AED Records on March 3rd.
It’s produced by the same team that brought you ‘Hapus?’ in 2012, namely Carwyn Ellis and Mason Neely.
Mason is an American arranger and producer who has worked with great artists like Lambchop and Sufjan Stevens, and he’s recently been a staple of Cerys Matthews’ Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 6, holding forth on matters musical as he is quite the expert.
There are 5 brand new tracks on the EP.
All tracks were recorded in Cardiff at Colorama HQ, mostly in the kitchen.
Styles liberally touched upon within the EP include 70s Relaxation, Nashville Beat, Ambient Punk, Cinematopoeia, Soultronica and Electro Vaudeville.
Something for everyone. We hope you’ll like it.
There’s also two shows to mark this release: on Thursday February 27th, we’ll be at Gullivers on Oldham Street in Manchester, and on Sunday March 2nd, we’ll be at The Three Kings in Clerkenwell, London.
Playing with us in Manchester will be our dear friends Nev Cottee (whose recently released album Mason and Carwyn produced) and Nolan Watkinson, and in London we’ll have the mighty John Stammers (check out the Colorama remix of his sublime ‘Idle I’m’), plus the Wonderful Sound and Kramford Look DJs.
Look out for the new album in the Spring!

Thanks to all who came to our shows in Caernarfon and Builth Wells last weekend, and indeed to everyone who’s supported us in 2013. We’ve got a bunch of new releases and dates lined up for you in 2014, so do stay tuned. But for now, take care of yourselves and the ones you love, and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. xC
