The Dutch band Le Dimanche creates cinematic music, with hints of postrock, jazz and triphop. From beautiful landscapes and dreamy nocturnes upto pitchblack moods with more heavy sounds. The band themselves cites The Cinematic Orchestra, Radiohead, Jaga Jazzist, Oceansize and Massive Attack as important influences. On their debutalbum Colour of Shade, released October 3rd 2009, Le Dimanche takes you on a trip into a wide array of cinamatic scenes and emotions. The album was recorded, mixed and produced by the band itself. Remarkable is the role of guitarist and vocalist Marjolein Kooijman, also known as the bassplayer of The Gathering. Colour of Shade has been released under a Creative Commons license to stimulate creative use of the music.
