This week on Jersey Rock we're featuring a band that I feel embodies the very best of the retro sound. By that I mean that these guys have reconnected to the sound of some of the best bands of days gone by. Now it would be very easy to just go through the motions and come with a sound that smacks of, say Nirvana or Pink Floyd etc., but when a band can pull that feat off while still coming up with an original sound then they're on to something. Such is the case for The Black Clouds. The Black Clouds have managed to blend some very divergent sounds and come up with their own original sound. How divergent? Try this on for size. Some of their songs actually sound very Floydish. I'm not talking about the Waters/Gilmore Floyd, but rather the earlier Syd Barrett headed Floyd, ala The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. The tune Sigh Alone is a good example. I could quite easily hear the cockney inflected vocals of Barrett on that cut. The Clouds take it a step further though and also incorporate the sounds of early Seattle into their tunes as well. Sounds crazy, I know, but The Clouds, perhaps unwittingly, have managed to sound like a melding of 1967 UFO Club era Pink Floyd with 1987 Mudhoney, and it works brilliantly! It's rock and roll alchemy at it's best! Check it out for yourself this week on Jersey Rock!
