Coltaine Announce Fall Tour; New Album Brandung Out Sept. 5
If you’re feeling like it hasn’t been that long since Coltaine‘s previous album, Forgotten Ways (review here), came out in Sept. 2024, you’re right. By the time Sept. 2025 gets here though and their next record, Brandung sees its release on Sept. 5 through Lay Bare Recordings, a year will have passed. Given the anti-genre-or-may-be-all-genre urgency of the prior LP’s expression, and how much Coltaine give the listener to dig through with their at-times-devastating post-sludge complexity, it’s reasonable to think they’d want to get back in the studio quickly. This ground ain’t gonna break itself.
I haven’t heard Brandung yet — September is four months off — but the band have summer fests including Hoflärm in Germany and a newly-announced release tour to coincide with the record’s arrival that also includes stops at a Lay Bare Fest being put on by their label at the venerated The Black Heart in London, and as well as other fests and a couple TBAs that I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re confirmations waiting to be announced. If you have a way to help though, be sure to offer.
More on the record when I hear it. I’ll go ahead and look forward to that while you peruse the following from socials:
