A2W: Clouds Are Ghosts
It’s been awhile since our last artist to watch feature, so we thought we’d press on this week with Austin band The Clouds Are Ghosts. Â The band has been building a lot of deserving positive press recently around town on sites like The Austinist who also dropped an interview with the band several months ago. Â Being a bit new to the Austin music scene having formed only in 2008, it’s surprising to see such a fresh band growing so quickly. Â The recent rise in popularity is of course attributed to the quality of the band’s sound which has been compared to their Radiohead & Massive Attack cited influences. Â This writer is ready to call them a more atmospheric and electronic version of European bands like Muse. Â You definitely won’t hear the wailing rock guitars like that band, but Clouds Are Ghosts certainly have that “epic” feeling to their music. Â The band, fronted by Jason Morris, recently came off an east coast tour and also just released their debut self-titled LP back in September. Â We’re jumping on the hype bandwagon with this band and we’re betting you will too. Â If you’d like to hear more, the band is currently offering up their new LP for free high-quality download on their website. Â Live shows coming up are February 27th at Mohawk and a few TBA shows during SXSW.
