Editorial Reviews

Special edition digipack CD, limited to 5000 copies. Heat is the sophomore album by Colder that surpasses a brilliant debut. It's a peerless collection of electro/acoustic songs, combining elements of electro, dub, punk, noise, and elegant pop, all coated in a smoky haze of sophistication that could only have come from France. The first track to be taken off the album is 'Wrong Baby', a dance floor stalker of a tune containing dark/light opposites, with a gloomy bass and drum intro and contrasting shooting star synth melody. Special limited edition features 10 total tracks. Output. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Ah, what can the influences of good company do. Since most of music is basically the inspiration derived from the influences one has and then the talent to turn this into new expression, Colder have to be seen under exactly that spotlight.

First of all, it's obvious that the members of this band have been listening to a LOT of great and intelligent music in their lives. Secondly, even upon the first listen it's again obvious that they are an intriguingly talented bunch.

Their range covers some of the darker and deeper indie rock bands spanning all the way from the 80s to the 90s and then nicely seaming up with equally dark and atmospheric bands of the electronic scene.
The result? Well, it's as good as this description promises really. In fact, i consider "Heat" to easily be one of the must-hear albums of the past 2-3 years.
Generously diverse, it will take a miracle for this LP to bore you. It's spacey, dark, moody, anxious, implying, atmospheric in a very special manner, and it will appeal to listeners from a quite wide spectrum of music.

Being that Colder are a band that will probably go under the radar of even insider music followers (i've spotted zero coverage of this band on the usual mags that might've covered them) you need to somehow find a way to listen to a sample of their tracks. Chances are huge you'll wind up buying the album if you do.

Another thing that should be said here, is that as far as the indie rock scene is concerned the sound of this band is the way of the future. Not because they are re-inventing the wheel, but simply because their understanding of music (mixing adavanced electronics with rock elements) is the only recipe that can take rock music out of the deep quaqmire it's been finding itself for several years now.
