New album Blurry Things is released 26th November via Soliti
Following the singles “Shy” and “Underwater” – Color Dolor share their new offering “Andrea” – the final sonic adventure before their fourth album Blurry Things arrives late November. As with previous singles, “Andrea” perfectly showcases Color Dolor’s melodic gifts, whilst displaying their innate sense of song craft like never before.
Discussing the themes of the single, Color Dolor tells us “Andrea is a song about loving somebody while knowing it will never work. Like two cats going round a hot pot. Music wise the song is a hybrid of big 80’s ballad and indie country music”
Listen to “Andrea”
INITIAL REACTION
” …the song is crowned by a succulent guitar solo” Soundi premiere
“It’s at least three songs in one. As if the official government song book just got thrown out of the window. It will grow on you very quickly, I guarantee.” Nordic Music Central
“…one of the most interesting artists in the Finnish Indie scene. “Andrea” is a fun 80’s track, but still completely in the forefront of this decade” Päivän Biisit
Stina from Color Dolor is interviewed via Nordic Music Central – selecting some favourite Finnish music “I chose only Finnish songs because I had to narrow it down somehow and it was still very difficult! So many great songs left out. But these I chose for the same reason – they are like ghosts following me through time, friendly ones for sure like Casper. I’m a massive sucker for melancholy and if you are too I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening to my list.” Read More
Color Dolor announce their fourth long player, Blurry Things which arrives via Soliti on the 26th November 2021. The duo of Color Dolor, Stina Koistinen and Leissi say the new record was a culmination of ideas that felt spontaneous. “First takes. Unfinished. Not overproducing, or overthinking, not rehearsing. Trying to leave things as they first came out, demo like.” explains Leissi. Stina continues “Mainly we wanted to make fragile and humane music with elements of vocals, guitars and electronics. We wanted to keep first takes, flaws, noises that may have come that we didn’t plan or wish for. We wanted to keep it alive and breathing. The name of the album, Blurry Things, was a carrying theme throughout the album making process. Most things in our world are blurry.”
