The team that brought you Chaos Wonderland, the new album by Colorama. On the left, Shawn Lee who produced, played drums (and loads of other instruments) and co-mixed the album. In the middle, Pierre Duplan who engineered and co-mixed with Shawn. These two also worked on the Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 album, ‘Joia!’. They are both masters of their crafts and a blast to work with. 🧡🧡 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFt5dOQAR4E/?igshid=7cusn8t136uf

At long last! As of today, 'Chaos Wonderland', the new album by Colorama is finally available on LP & CD. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who's pre-ordered copies - if they're not with you yet, they will be very soon. And thanks so much for bearing with us through the delays. I really hope it's worth the wait!  ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ If you haven't got yourself a copy yet, don't despair - ask your local quality indie record shop.

I always look forward to playing in Manchester, it’s a great music town - one of the best. I’m really sad to hear that two of its music venues, @deafinstitute and @thisisgorilla are to close - I’ve had only good times at these places. Music venues are under threat everywhere now. A fundraiser has been set up to support the @thecastlemanc and @gulliversnq, two more brilliant Manchester venues under threat of closure due to the cursed Covid crisis: a series of live compilations from Manc gigs over the years. There’s a Colorama track on the latest instalment, recorded at the much missed Roadhouse back in 2015 and featuring the brilliant harmonica of my dear friend @clivemellor1. You can listen/donate/download here: https://bit.ly/395GYRT Please give generously and do what you can do support your local music venues.

Konnichiwa and congratulations to my dear friends Quruli on the release of their latest CD, ‘Thaw’’! A collection of previously unreleased recordings taken from across their 20 plus years career, this one has particular sentimental significance for me as it includes a song from the session where we first met, back in 2005. The tune in question, ‘Midnight Train (Has Gone)’ was recorded at Toe Rag Studios in London with producer Liam Watson at the helm. I was called in because their keyboard player couldn’t fly over from Japan in time. Lucky for me! Though the tune wasn’t released at the time (not sure why - it’s really good!) we became firm and fast friends from that day on, and I’ll be eternally grateful to @kishidashigeru and @sato_qrl not only for taking me with them on their epic tour of Japan in 2007, but for being the first people to actually release my music and support it in the way they did. Arigatou & omedetou, Quruli! #quruli #thaw #toeragstudios #liamwatson #speedstarrecords #noisemccartneyrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxTQKuH7Jx/?igshid=l3v0l7q15v2j
