Coltaine

Coltaine, a German band formed in 2022, play atmospheric psychedelia and blackgaze, presenting their album Brandung in concert at Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley, alongside Senor Pink.

Coltaine is a German band formed in 2022 in the Black Forest area of Germany. Their music draws on atmospheric psychedelia, post-rock melancholy and blackgaze, with cinematic passages in which droning acoustic guitars give way to harder, graceful electric sections. Julia sings the vocals. Their debut album, Forgotten Ways, was followed by Brandung, a nine-track record that develops the band's signature sound in a more organic direction and centres on a sense of longing for the unattainable.

This concert is billed as Coltaine with Senor Pink, with the two acts appearing together on the same bill. The headline material is the band's latest album, so the evening places Brandung's slow, sorrowful pieces at the centre of the programme.

Kirkgate Community Centre, in Shipley, hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners drawn to slow, atmospheric rock and blackgaze, and to music that moves gradually from quiet acoustic textures to heavier electric passages.
