Clouds: Legendary Demo


As a long time Cave In fan, half of me was bummed about the news of their break up, and the other half was looking forward to what bands would come out of the space-metal-behemoth. Besides, Perfect Pitch Black was a mess, so what’s the worse that could happen? I had totally forgotten about Clouds, Adam McGrath's spin off band, until I read an embarrassing review of their debut album Legendary Demo yesterday. The review was crafted by resident Pitchfork metal "expert" D. Shawn Bosler who, as well as the mainpage early in the morning, wrongfully referred to the band as "The Clouds" throughout parts of the write up. Bosler is most well known for his works in other respectable music publications such as Decibel Magazine, where he cleverly refered to Metallica's later career as "bLoaded St. Turds." How anybody can be silly enough to start a review by discussing "hipster metal" in any sort of serious context and still respect themselves is totally fucking mind-blowing to me.

Regardless of the sad reminder, this Clouds record fucking rips! Luke prefers Caleb Scofield's Zozobra, but he also said "the new lifetime album is fucking brilliant." That quote isn't from 1996 or anything- he was seriously talking about Lifetime's 2007 eponymous reunion album. Anyway, one of my favorite tracks on here is "Magic Hater" which D. Shawn Bosler pans as taking "way too long to shake it all out." What the fuck? Listen about 1:18 in to hear Adam talk about how "sweet, tight, and awesome" the beat is grooving.
