Cold Blue – ‘Winter’
Cold… Blue… ‘Winter’… Not for nothing, are you seeing the first official album assembly from Cold Blue (Tobias Schuh) arriving in — of all months — November. To say that the release is a clear-cut celebration of the season at hand however, would be to miss his nuance. Cold Blue’s work is a soundtrack/companion-piece, but perhaps not in the way you’d first imagine. It’s been created more as a 360 degree angle of winter. One that audibly and aesthetically resonates its clement elements but isn’t averse to subverting, digging deeper and touching on its other aspects.
