Song of the Week: CO2

CO2 - Colour Haze - CO2

There is something about Colour Haze that screams summer to me. They always seem to play so loose with a rolling quality to their songs which don't feel forced when they tend to go on long. The great musicianship of all three also helps make an 11 minute song an enjoyable experiences, Following the drums and guitar while being swallowed by the fat bottom the bass provides on the sound is simply amazing. I love listening to all three especially when they ditch the riffs and go right for the over the top soloing. The drums move so well, and the guitar takes on plenty of tones and textures, blending of blues, psychedelia, and heavy heavy distortion, each style flowing into each other seamlessly. As far as recording I love how they don't compress they're music, its recorded all in analog and meant to be played loud. Enjoy!

Song: Here

P.S. For this song in particular the beginning is very reminiscent of Space Cadet (another great summer song, also recorded live!) but really steps into its own form pretty quickly with a heavy riff.
