Colorful debut
COLOR DOLOR: Cuckoo in a Clock
Konkurssi Records KONKKA009
I wish I could write a short analysis of each song on this ambitious debut album. But, due to the lack of space, let’s just say that the Moloko-like single What is Left? tells us absolutely nothing about the band. More interesting examples of the band’s – and especially brilliant singer Stina Koistinen’s – dimensions are the calm The Angel, where she manages to sound like a jazzier version of Bjork, or the wild, ethnoinfluenced Ones in the Woods. 10 songs, 10 musical directions – but they manage to keep it well together.
