If she has more misanthropic stuff like this up her A Camp sleeve? Hey-forget the Cardigans, and bring it on.
-
That darker side of Persson gives Colonia many of its most beautiful moments and includes some of her best vocal work to date.
-
Listening to the album as a whole, it's satisfyingly compact, a neatly produced record with stand-out tracks and growers.
-
Colonia is mostly careful to use its expanded palette of sounds for subtle shading rather than gratuitous effect.
-
Colonia may share with the Cardigans' late records that polished yet entirely too comfortable sound that reveals few insights, but it deftly presents Persson's uncomfortable vision of a world with little left to hold onto.

Alternative PressDespite its pristine arrangements, Colonia turns into sonic NyQuil about halfway through, and ends up a low-day--albeit impeccable-sounding-listen. [Jun 2009, p.102]

Colonia has an awful lot of ideas, but doesn’t really know what to do with them and the majority of tracks end up sounding messy and--like the rest of us following Christmas--carrying a little too much extra weight.
