Colonies

mixed by chris taylor (of grizzly bear) and mastered by cristian vogel (acclaimed solo artist, producer remixer etc), 'colonies' is undoubtedly rumraket's most fierce and extrovert release to date. canon blue aka daniel james has written, recorded and played almost every instrument on his debut album himself. all done with a sharp understanding for the unified whole that is bound to thrill followers of thom yorke, four tet, mugison and spirtualized. canon blue 'colonies' is a compound beast of eccentric electronic pop and art rock with keen references to the new folk scene. 'colonies' is a record that defies its 'bedroom artist' origins. covering a range of emotions with its wonderfully textured, sizzling and gritty electro art-rock, daniel has created a colossus.
