The Colour Haze Thread

couldn't find any more info when i was searching last night, i'm guessing before they start playing shows in the autumn. anyway, that opening drum fill, those horns, yes!

After being delayed two years, She Said is finished! And a double album no less! According to the note from Stefan, it looks like it should be available sometime in September, possibly late August!

Dear Friends,

it took a long time and was a hard way but finally we made it: the
recording, mixing and mastering of the new Colour Haze album is finished and
in the end all turned out quite good I`d say, despite all limitations and
difficulties. In the next days we will cut the master and finish last
details of the artwork, so next week the Double-CD is off to print and the
Vinyl to cut. i.e. In latest 3 weeks the DCD and in abprox 4-6 weeks the DLP
will be available. We hope to bring to you a lot of pleasure and joy with
this album, we tried to give our very best… ; )
Please do not send any mails with preorders! I`ll send a regular newsletter
with more details when the CD is available.
I intend to release the Vinyl at first in a limited version only – 1000
copies of colored and another 1000 copies of black vinyl in a relief-printed
3-panel fold-out-cover. This issue should be high enough that nobody needs
to be afraid to miss his copy… later there will be an unlimited version
for a nicer price of course. But also here: more in the next newsletter.
Please excuse I was often slow in sending parcels and answering mails the
last weeks – I devoted everything to the album…
Best Wishes

Stefan Koglek

Excellent news! This brightened up an otherwise ho-hum day. Is there a place to sign up for the newsletter? I want to make sure I can get in on the order when it comes out.

Can you order directly from Elektrohasch to the U.S. easily? Reasonable priced? Or is there anywhere else to order All online? The CD version is sold out at All That is Heavy and its not turning up at any other likely locations.

What's reasonable? I haven't checked conversion shipping, but you can get it here:

and may be cheaper here, about $18 plus shipping:

So word is that the album is out "in the next few days"!

There were a few live sets turned up on Dime over the last couple of weeks. I hadn't been aware of the band before that. MIght well check out a couple of the studio sets now.

My review! http://fastnbulbous.com/colour-haze-she-said/

It will hopefully start shipping from some sources by tomorrow.

So excited! Nice review.

Oh man, ready for this to be available to buy, hoping for it to pop up in the next Aquarius or All That is Heavy list so I can quit compulsively checking every day. Even Record Heaven lists it as "special order - out of stock", so I'm not all that confident in ordering it from them either.

Disappointed to get both the Aquarius and All That is Heavy lists in my inbox tonight and see still no mention of this. Oh well, I'll console myself with that second Ufomammut record.

Another week, still no announcement for the new one at either of those outlets. But All That is Heavy did restock All and the live album, so I ordered both of those.

I saw a thread where people who ordered directly from Elektrohasch received their CDs last week. Unfortunately it takes them forever to get to the U.S. stores for some reason.

Anyone in or near London seeing their show at The Garage on Friday?

Kind of dragged kicking and screaming to this tonight by a friend but kinda surprised how good they were. Would of liked some hallucinogenics for total immersion (although at one point I definitely smelt weed and bacon sandwiches) but I loved their sense of dynamics and thei musicianship was amazing. Will have to investigate further for sure...

fyi, All That is Heavy now has She Said in stock, on 2CD anyway. Just placed my order! Glad I've held out on hearing it through other means.

My pals went to this and tripped! I've never heard em though

Finally got my copy of She Said! Have been too busy for a proper listen yet, but really excited to tear into this.

Something I missed while offline on vacation last week, an epic interview with Stefan Koglek of Colour Haze about the monumental trials and tribulations on completing their latest - http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2012/10/05/colour-haze-she-said-interview-with-stefan-koglek/

Any reactions to it? It's likely my #1 for the year. It doesn't play well with others when my playlist is on random, but listened straight through it's magnificent.

It didn't hook me at all. I guess I should try again.

To be perfectly honest, I think it's their first record in awhile that doesn't improve on the previous one. It's still really good, but it feels more like a holding pattern, which is unusual for these guys. I do need to spend more time with it, maybe it'll grow on me more, but I found myself ready to move on a lot quicker than I did with the last 3 or 4.

lol @ briefly playing Here Comes the Bride in Transformation

album is decent though all over the place and def demanding more than one listen.

listening to all at the moment ("silent") and feeling cool in the heat

I still like She Said a ton but I did think he would develop more of the psych pop direction that I hear in some of All but instead it's more sprawling.

Listening to the new one We Are right now and it is hitting all the right spots, another killer record from these dudes. So happy that they are finally getting U.S. distro via Ripple.

This thread skipped right over In Her Garden. What a fantastic album, very satisfying. I'm quite excited about that being up next from Ripple and getting a lot of new fans.

Best lockdown concert I saw last year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxDRbi9JmYE

Another new one, Sacred, out now.. digitally anyway.

Guessing their deal with Ripple Music fell apart, since that reissue campaign dried up after one release and no news from that label about US distribution for this. Anyone ever ordered directly from Elektrohasch? Reasonable?
