Soliti is delighted to bring you the third album from Color Dolor – Love is released today, 4th May.
Love is an album that reinvents Color Dolor’s sound – steering a line away from the collective to a more intimate setting. Strictly focussing on the input from vocalist Stina Koistinen and multi-instrumentalist Leissi, Love covers a wide pallet of musical inspirations, from RnB grooves, piano ballads, electroclash jams and experimental studio textures whilst delivering the lyrical concept of the record; Love looks at the universal theme from different angles: romantic love, platonic love, love in society, not forgetting lovelessness and loneliness.
The album will be available as a short run vinyl, cassette editions.

Initial reaction and press surrounding Love and related singles has been great and considered:
“This song has momentum. I can imagine the joyful cacophony this song will illicit in so many clubs (don’t get me wrong, I never go out). In summary, great tune, magnificent joie de vivre. Banger par excellence.” SWIT
“but with a bit of a groove this means a broader musical style book. Love discovers piano pianists, electronic sounds, r & b as well as experimental sounds.” Soundi
“Anyway The Wind Blows is simply like Massive Attack meets Radiohead in both of their golden periods plus a bit of dub added. Genius. It makes no sense how good it is. That’s all there is to analyze.” Päivän Biisit
“Aion kuunnella tätä biisiä uudelleen ja uudelleen. Ihan sama mistä päin tuulee. Älkää uskoko Syklistin tai kenenkään muunkaan määritelmiin, vaan kuunnelkaa tämä.” Syklisti
“Ja niin ihana! Erityisesti korvia kutkuttaa dikidiki-väliosa” Rosvot
“Running In The Dark” is an intimate R&B-flavored track that is perfect for your late evening listening.” When You Motor Away
“Det gör att låten slutligen är väldigt intressant och kanske till och med reflekterar den enkla och upprepade låttexten “Anyway the wind blows” (vart än vinden vänder).” HBL on Anywhere The Wind Blows
“Ehkä se on yhtyeen lisääntynyt rentous, leikkisyys, melodisuus, lähestyttävyys. Eikä tuo ole merkinnyt kunnianhimon tai rohkeuden katoamista.” Jukka Haarma
Plus extra stuff with Rumba premiere of ‘Anyway The Wind Blows’, ‘Revolution’ via God Is In The TV, Interview via Takahuone, Interview via Aamulehti, Metro interview and Album of the week via Radio Helsinki.
