}}Colorama is an alternative music group formed by Welsh singer-songwriter, music producer and multi-instrumentalist Carwyn Ellis. The line-up varies frequently, both in the studio and on stage.[1][2]

History

Colorama was started by Carwyn Ellis in Liverpool in 2007, the first shows being as a duo with David Fletcher, on double bass.[3]

Colorama released their Japan only debut album, Cookie Zoo on Noise McCartney Records in April 2008,[4] and released their debut single, Sound via Redbricks Recordings in UK.[5][6][7]

In 2008, they became a trio with the addition of Luca Guernieri on drums and have since played Glastonbury Festival, Latitude Festival, Home Game, The Sŵn Festival, Port Eliot Festival, Truck Festival, The Apple Cart Festival, National Eisteddfodau, Cloudspotting Festival, Festival N°6, Green Man Festival and more.[8][9][10]

In the summer of 2009, the tragic news was announced that their double bass player, Ellis's best friend David Fletcher had died on 29 June, from a heart attack suffered in his sleep,[11] just days after Colorama’s appearance at Glastonbury Festival.[12][13]

Magic Lantern Show, featuring songs in Welsh and English was released in September 2009 with Dere Mewn becoming a modern classic in Wales and garnering rave reviews and lots of airplay on both sides of the border.[14][15]

In 2010 Colorama released their third album BOX on Noise McCartney (Victor Entertainment) in Japan and See Monkey Do Monkey Recordings in the UK.[16][17] Shortly afterwards, they released a Christmas single, Cerdyn Nadolig ( Christmas Card ) which garnered them the Welsh Christmas Number 1 on the BBC Radio Cymru chart.[18][19][20][21][22]

BOX was also nominated for the inaugural Welsh Music Prize.[23]

In October 2011, Colorama released Llyfr Lliwio ( Colouring Book ), which was their first predominantly Welsh-language collection.[24][25][26]

August 2012 saw their fifth album release - Good Music, produced by Edwyn Collins and Sebastian Lewsley, and featured high in many an end-of year best album list (2012).[27][28]

In November 2012 Colorama released a limited edition 12" single, Hapus? ( Happy? ) on Aficionado Recordings.[29]

In 2013, Colorama did remixes for fellow artists, John Stammers and AM & Shawn Lee.

They reworked John Stammers's Idle I'm, 'transforming the stripped back acoustic song into a massive Balearic groove that has a John Barry-esque cinematic feel to it'.[30]

Two Times by AM & Shawn Lee however, was transformed from its dub reggae roots and given a hard rock treatment.[31] Shawn Lee returned the favour, remixing Good Music for Colorama on their Do The Pump EP, also in 2013.[32]

At the end of 2013, the Colorama back catalogue was released on iTunes through the [https://www.wonderfulsound.com/ Wonderfulsound] imprint, with Cookie Zoo being made available in the UK and Europe for the first time.[33]

In 2014, Colorama released a new EP, Heaven's Hotel,[34] a new album TEMARI,[35][36] followed by a split single, Yn Rhydiau'r Afon / Forget Tomorrow with The Joy Formidable.[37]

In November 2014, a compilation of all of Ellis's Welsh songs as Colorama was released on his own, new Agati label, entitled Dere Mewn!.[38]

In 2015, Colorama resumed recording at Toe Rag Studios in London, as well as continuing to perform in the UK and in Spain, including appearances at that year's Green Man Festival [39] [40] and Port Eliot Festival [41].

Some Things Just Take Time, the first full-length Colorama release in 3 years, came out in September 2017 on the Wonderfulsound label, and showed the group taking a more acoustic, folk-influenced direction.[42][43][44][45]

Musical Style

Colorama would best be described as indie pop and alternative though they’ve been described as dream pop, acid folk, psychedelic rock, Baroque pop, fuzz-soul and electropop. The band perform in both English and Welsh.

A Mojo magazine review of Good Music described Colorama’s music as ‘genre-hopping - playful, boundary-free pop with oodles of melodic backbone and a neat line in intriguing sonic detail’, while various observers (Q, Shindig! Magazine, NME, eMusic) have made comparisons with The Clientele, Caravan, Harpers Bizarre, Vetiver, Fred Neil, The Kinks, Harry Nilsson, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Beck, Steely Dan, Espers, The Free Design, The Left Banke, John Barry and Bagpuss.[46][47][48]
