More New Music from Hungry Cloud Darkening

September 29, 2014 nathan.lankford

Not really sure what I’m more drawn to on the latest single from Hungry Cloud Darkening; it’s either the emotional draw of the songs instrumentation or the wispy quality of the vocals. I’ll admit, I love vocals when they’re recorded this way, but there’s something about the tension that’s being built by the simply strung guitars before the drums creep in with their deep tones. Then there’s horns, so I get drawn further into the track’s emotional tractor-beam…but I’m still digging the vocals as they move forward with the female counterpart. Expect to find yourself amazed when Glossy Recall is put forth by Off Tempo Records.

Drift Away with Hungry Cloud Darkening

September 11, 2014 nathan.lankford

Okay. The afternoon has hit and my stress is subsiding a bit. I just want to let my mind wander far off into the horizon. No tune has fit that mood quite as wonderfully as this new song from Hungry Cloud Darkening. My enjoyment comes from a comment of this softened touch on the song’s musical progression; those sweet vocals don’t hurt me either. The song also benefits from barely arching over two minutes; it comes in and sweeps you away, then disappears into the distance. You’ll get this song and a few others on Off Tempo, the band’s new album that’s being released on October 7th.

Slow Trip with Hungry Cloud Darkening

August 21, 2014 nathan.lankford

Hungry Cloud Darkening has probably gotten the most notice as the backing band for Mount Eerie, but the more that I gig myself over to their latest single, the more I feel that there’s something far more important in their own solo work. There’s not a lot of movement within this track, but it’s clear that the sonic exploration holds the key to finding meaning in this tune. Vocals come at you from a far off world, moving in and out of the soft percussive elements and the other lite tinkering. I hope this is the sort of music we get when the group releases their record, Glossy Recall, on October 7th via Off Tempo.
