UK Review
08 February '10 by Jason F, under News.
Hey, folks! We got a pretty generous review from Leicester Bangs, an on-line music magazine in the UK. Thought we’d pass it along. Be sure to check out their site and learn about tons of other bands.
The Clouds Are Ghosts – S/T (Independent)
From Austin, Texas, The Clouds Are Ghosts play beautifully poised electronica; nicely atmospheric mood pieces, but created to serve the song, rather that the other way round. Vocalist Jason Morris’ voice is light and delicate, though always high in the mix, and the band provides distinctive hooks amongst the effects. They list their influences as Radiohead and Massive Attack, and while both make sense, The Clouds Are Ghosts aren’t overtly progressive, experimental, trippy or soulful. They do however have something, which both impresses and is intrinsically likeable. They sound European; certainly from another time – they sound like the future, as envisaged twenty, maybe thirty years ago, and as such, sound refreshingly apart from the mainstream. See what you think. The last time I looked you could download the complete album from the MySpace page. There should be a link somewhere ‘round here…

Hello, everyone. We’re really doing our best to get our online ducks in a row. It’s been a while since our last update, and we really want to make it a habit to keep everyone tuned in to what we’re doing. This should be happening in the next few days. Thanks for your patience. If you’re in to the whole Twitter thing, be sure to follow us there, too. We’ll be updating that as well. If you haven’t downloaded our album, please take the time to click the “Download our CD” link. It’s completely free. Spread the word. We’re currently in the studio working on our second release, which will most likely be an EP. We’ll also be updating with some exciting show news very soon.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
