Colour Haze - We Are (2019)

The 12th album from this band from Germany.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, mellotron, clavinet, mini-moog, synths, keyboards, organ and vocals.

This band has so far released thirteen albums and I got their last two albums for review this fall.

This band is veterans in the new wave of krautrock.

They debuted back in 1995 with their debut album Chopping Machine. I have reviewed all their albums with the exception of their last two albums. Reviews which is now coming up.

We Are is three quarters of an hour long album and it starts with some vocals before it continues down the dirty space rock alley Colour Haze has followed since the debut album.

 I get the feeling that the band want to both break with the past and still want to keep some toes still dipped in their old sound and music.

The result is an album which stands a bit apart from their other albums. Which is good and proper if the quality was there. It is not.

There are some good stuff here and some not so good stuff here.

The result is somewhere between decent and good. I am not won over by this album.
