Columboid - City of Azure

Pre-order for June 20th! It has been over a decade since their last recording but COLUMBOID is back with a string of psychedelic smashes on their fourth studio album!

A cloudless liquid sky, blue like the swimming pool of Motel Hell. Blue like the polished stone adorning Sarah Connor’s bellybutton ring while she sunbathes on Judgement Day. Apocalypse Azure, the hottest new shade under the sun, melted into your mental mainframe through the ears courtesy of COLUMBOID. Like a long float down the polluted waterways of Paradise with a cooler full of beers, a laced J dangling from your peeling lips and a tender breeze letting you know it’s all good, this new slab of soundscapes is the sunscreen for your soul. In this contemporary wasteland of decidedly un-cosmic AI slop, algorithmically-encouraged acquiescence to sack-less mediocrity and bullshit buffets of thawed-out throwbacks, our weirdo heroes hit like a soft sack of bricks, flipping the tables and flippin’ their birds, wingless & calloused and aimed for the heart. This is the soundtrack to keep your Wabi-sabi all wobbly, Bobby. Imagine Tangerine Dream ripped on Robitussin scoring Streets of Rage 2, fronted by the ghost of Jim Morrison after it completed a post-mortem postdoc in Boogie Studies and you’d be spiritually close but musically colder than the Baba Yaga’s breastmilk; COLUMBOID sails their own bruised blue sea of sound. Like a weirdly positive bad trip, calm & collected while the walls disappear and the horizon vomits its possibilities all over you, “City of Azure” is the steady frame around the shattered image of our collective future. Pick up the pieces any way you see fit or just bask in the beautiful mess. But make sure to keep the tunes absolutely cranked and soothe your bulging aura while you make your journey to the City of Azure, where only the strangest of strangers are welcome.
