Cloudland Canyon Share Internet Dreams Video

We are just over a month out from the release of the self-titled Cloudland Canyon LP, and seeing as its Friday and you could use a little bit of pulsating pop music, we figured we’d let you try this one on for size. Instantly, the thump of the bass and those rolling synth beats should have you tapping your toes, even discreetly. When I went through the first few listens, I loved the gradually building tension, unleashed perfectly with a quick little drop that accompanies bright vocals and some “oh oh ohs” that get you hooked. Song craftsman Kip Uhlhorn built a lot of the soundscapes on this new LP with AI, so he’s still pushing himself and what one can accomplish in electronic music, still 20 years on! Cloudland Canyon drops on Juluy 21st via Medical Records.

Alternative Jam from Bear Ceuse

Sometimes you just need to grow your hair out and revel in the industrious glory that was the 90s alternative rock scene; you know, before alternative became a bad word.  Bear Ceuse are a band eager to live in that nostalgic period, though with the revitalized careers of Superchunk and Dinosaur Jr, it’s not really a throwback at all.  The guitars have just the right amount of distortion, especially during the screaming guitar solo, and the vocals are calm and collected.  It’s the perfect way to introduce you to the group that will be putting out Don Domestique via Medical Records on February 26th of next year.
