Color Dolor : 'New Moon'

Color Dolor's well received Love album is a record of many textures. 'New Moon' represents another side of the richly rewarding album; pitched low voice, hear-felt plea and an incessant driving strum. It's all so beautiful. The origins and ideas behind 'New Moon' add even more layers. Leissi from Color Dolor tell us:

"We recorded this track at 2 o'clock on a misty night on September the 20th – with the moon in the new moon phase. It is said that the new moon indicates the beginning of something new. The lyrics are based on a dream I had the night before the new moon. I wrote them down directly after waking up from the dream.
The video is inspired by an improvisation named "Independent movement" by Gesa and Alm.
We filmed this on a new moon night in January. It was -22c outside, and we filmed for one hour straight to get enough material. Our feet were still pretty sore a couple of weeks after the shoot"

Tonight there will be a new moon.

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 guitarist-producer 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.
