Colorama Records is a UK independent record label that has been making waves in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on promoting and supporting talented artists, Colorama Records has quickly become a go-to destination for music lovers looking for fresh and innovative sounds.

Founded by a group of passionate individuals with extensive experience in the music business, Colorama Records prides itself on its commitment to nurturing emerging talent and providing them with the platform they need to thrive.

With an emphasis on quality over quantity, Colorama Records carefully curates its releases, ensuring that each album or single represents the best of what their *performers* have to offer. From indie rock to electronic beats, the label covers a diverse range of genres, catering to all musical tastes.

Sunzoom have been making a stir from their Liverpool base and this highly anticipated debut is not to be missed.

Lo-fi and DIY in equal measure, the record was only conceived of 4 weeks into the first lockdown when songwriter Greg McVeigh decided that recording music was the only way to stay sane. Building a makeshift studio in the kitchen of his North Liverpool home (and deciding to name the new project Sunzoom after a favourite Captain Beefheart track) Greg set about learning the processes of home recording from the ground up. The album theme draws upon the peculiar aspects of lockdown; isolation, spiritual introspection, longing to be somewhere else, weird dreams, drinking too much and takes the listener on a journey of escape.

The songs move the record through fields, countries, time, space, memories and longings to finally end back at home in the reality of the four walls. Digging into some past unreleased recordings, poems, unfinished snippets of tunes and writing new songs (usually sung into his phone during months of daily beach walks with his dog) Greg began to build a record within the claustrophobic environment of summer 2020. Friends were able to collaborate (by the magic of old recordings and new parts sent via email) and in early 2021 Sunzoom entered ARK Recording Studios in Liverpool to add live drums and vocal parts subsequently spending a month mixing the record back home in the familiar surroundings of the kitchen where the concept first began. The result is a snapshot of the period that magically transforms personal and public strife into glorious pop-folk psychedelia.
