Following on from the announcement of his forthcoming double album release of Goodbye and The Rain, French producer Colder has unveiled an atmospheric new video for current single ‘Inside’.
A combination of new and reworked unreleased material from Colder’s years at Trevor Jackson’s now defunct Output label, Bataille Records is proud to unleash two new parts to the Colder story on the 24th June. ‘Goodbye’ is a swaggering groove-laden album of synthesised jagged guitars and dynamic electronica; ‘The Rain’ is a more experimental record of glacial ambience and New Wave expressionism.
Watch the video teaser for both albums
Marc Nguyen Tan is a man outside of time. He is both an avant-garde pioneer and a modern classic. Colder, the electronic project he’s helmed since 2003, inhabits a sonic world that drives into the future as much as it gazes into the past. His is a unique sound of noir-drenched highways of propulsive electronic cold wave, krautrock and post-punk, touched by everything from the Chromatics’ bleary-eyed romanticism to The Horrors’ atmospheric groove, via the teutonic precision of NEU! and Can.
