You can call me crazy if you want, but I’m kind of still hoping that one of these days I’m going to load up my shitty webmail interface and there’s gonna be a note there that says there’s a new Colour Haze album done and it’ll be released probably in like two weeks from whenever the email arrived. I’d like it to be out before the end of the year, because as far as I’m concerned, the best album of 2019 is still well up for grabs, but it’s already September, so maybe that’s a fool’s line of thinking. Plus, I’m just always kind of hoping to open my email and find news of a new album from Colour Haze. Why the hell wouldn’t I be?

Of course, In Her Garden (review here) is only two years old, so it’s not like they’re overdue for a release or anything, but it’s the 25th anniversary of the band and they might want to take advantage of the occasion. On the other hand, they’ve been doing so by playing live throughout the year and they’ll continue this Fall as they play fests like Up in Smoke in Switzerland, for which they’ve newly been confirmed. This is the same week they headline at Høstsabbat in Oslo, Norway, so it may be that they’ll add more dates — have they been confirmed for Keep it Low yet? one would expect that given it’s their hometown of Munich and they always seem to play — or this might be it as, maybe, just maybe, they finish up the record to come.

Or so one hopes.

Here’s Up in Smoke‘s announcement:

COLOUR HAZE confirmed for Up in Smoke Festival

What awesome news to start the week, brothers & sisters !!! The german heavy psych institution surely doesn´t need an introduction anymore.

We all know their excellent songwriting skills and unbelievable live performance. Colour Haze are celebrating their 25 years anniversary and we can expect a unique show from one of the most outstanding bands of the genre.
