Coloma

Coloma is the duo of vocalist Rob Taylor and producer Alex Paulick. The Englishmen reside in Germany and signed with Mathias Schaffhäuser's Ware label for their debut album, 2002's Silverware. They returned the following year with the phenomenal Finery, recorded at Conny Plank's studio and also released on Ware. The album was a brilliant headfirst dive into previously unchartered waters, a cross between minimal dance music and sophisti-pop. Two years later, they released the relatively organic Dovetail on Klein, featuring a horn section and several other guest instrumentalists. Outside of the group, Taylor leant his voice to Schaffhäuser's cover of Icehouse's "Hey Little Girl," and Paulick has played bass in Kreidler. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
