Colorama is based around the talents of multi-instrumentalist-singer-songwriter Carwyn Ellis, a much in demand musician who has in the past worked with Oasis and Edwyn Collins amongst others.

A nomadic childhood saw Carwyn flit between Wrexham, Hereford, the West Midlands and the small Anglesey village of Benllech, yet it is his Welsh roots that most eloquently inform his timeless, beautifully written & performed bucolic psychedelic ‘folk’ music - all but one of the tracks on Llyfr Lliwio (Colouring Book) are sung in his native language.

A spell studying music at The Royal Academy was following by the release of his first mini-LP, The Magic Lantern Show in 2009, a record which picked up considerable support from 6Music, Radio 1 & 2 and XFM; this was quickly followed by his first full-length effort, Box, the following year.

New release - Llyfr Lliwio (Colouring Book) continues the tale – delicate, enchanting and poetic  ‘dream pop’ it recalls everything from Harry Nilsson, ‘sunshine pop’ a la Sandpipers, Burt Bacharach, The Association, Andrew Loog Oldham productions, the Eels, MPB Bossa Nova stylings and Francoise Hardy.

Colorama, which also currently features the musicians Luca Guernieri and David Page, will be announcing details of live shows shortly.

They also do a monthly podcast at www.mixcloud.com/colorama/ on which they play their favourite current tracks, old & new.
