COLATURA
bio//
Colatura crafts a sound that is sometimes dreamy, sometimes heavy, with fuzzy guitars, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged storytelling. A staple of the Brooklyn music scene, the band relocated to Pittsburgh in 2024 and splits time between the two cities.
Colatura has played major festivals, including SXSW, NXNE, New Colossus Festival, and Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party, and has shared a stage with artists like Slow Pulp, Hinds, Nation of Language, and Pom Pom Squad. They have been described live as “like sunshine streaming out of an amplifier with its volume set at nine” (Full Time Aesthetic).
Colatura’s debut album, And Then I’ll Be Happy (2022), was celebrated with a release show at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn and a national tour. In 2024, they followed it with Suffer Dude and Do You Miss Her, an A/B side produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma). Their music has earned praise from outlets such as Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, Consequence, Austin Town Hall, and Atwood, and has been featured on Spotify’s All New Rock playlist and as the cover of Pandora’s AMP: Fresh Cuts station.
Colatura has been featured on radio stations such as KEXP, DKFM, WFUV, and WYEP, where they were also featured as Artist of the Week and performed a session live on air. This summer, Colatura returns with If I’m Being Honest, an EP produced by Nixon Boyd (Hollerado), out on Easy Does It Records August 1st. In addition to the release, the band is gearing up for a European tour via Annibale Records this fall.

“A dreamy, warm treat in the dead of winter.”
-BROOKLYN VEGAN
"With varying styles which range from synthy post punk new wave to early 60’s girl group vibes, I would say the easiest way to describe Colatura is they’re like sunshine streaming out of an amplifier with its volume set at nine."
-FULL TIME AESTHETIC
"Gorgeous, nostalgia-inducing, 120 Minutes MTV-like dream pop featuring plaintive and yearning vocals, reverb-drenched guitars, driving rhythms and the band’s unerring ability to craft an enormous hook.”
-THE JOY OF VIOLENT MOVEMENT
"Every dream-pop fan has listened to Mazzy Star, and most would agree that they created the dreamiest music. While the genre has surged in popularity over the past decade-plus, few bands have been able to replicate their brilliance. But then comes a group from the Big Apple who invite us back to the early ’90s and dazzle like Hope Sandoval and David Roback once did.”
-THE REVUE
"Drawing on a range of influences from '50s female-fronted outfits to Manchester post-punk and all manner of noisy things, Colatura sounds both of and out of its time, delivering music that seems to have always been"
-POPMATTERS
"With the jangliest of a dream-pop essence that flirts easily with Sunflower Bean / Wild Nothing comparisons, This NY based trio have produced consistent beauty in recent releases and this single is no exception."
-JANGLEPOPHUB
"A slow-burning yet hot rising slice of enchanting dream pop with a hypnotic vocal delivery and some ruminating shoegazy guitars. There is a melancholic and lovely presence to it all that shows a great deal of promise for the record if the rest of the album hits as warmly as this one."
-WE ALL WANT SOMEONE TO SHOUT FOR
The upbeat surf guitar, blissful washes of synths, and brilliant bursts of melody make for a decadent dream pop reverie, recalling classic influences like Cocteau Twins as well as contemporaries like Alvvays or Yumi Zouma."
