MIGHTY CLOUDS

Life Like 21 * White Marble Vinyl LP * Edition of 500, released October 2010 * Sold Out
C-60 Cassette * Edition of 70, released November 2010 * Sold Out
 
Productive times! This record wasn't scheduled to come until late November, but they were early so here we go.... Brand new band from ex-Saturday Looks Good To Me star vocalist and official Swedish transplant Betty Marie Barnes and myself. Betty does all the singing, I do all the music. 10 new original songs and a Morrissey cover! Dream-like, spare, direct, strange and still catchy as hell. 180 gram vinyl, pressed on cloud-colored wax!! Sick.

I know what you're saying though... "Fuck Records! I only like tapes!" Me, too, which is why we have a special cassette version of this record up for pre-order. Side A is the eleven songs from the record pictured above, and side B is the complete recording of the band's first live set, happening in Ypsilanti on November 24th. I know, it's a great idea, right?? This edition of 70 is up for pre-order as the show hasn't happened yet, but they'll be shipped out the week after and the live set will be more than just bad-sounding versions of the same songs on the record. We got some tricks up the sleeve, up the tape deck.
You can stream the whole record here!

  1. Hello Fred!

    Is there anywhere to find out where Mighty Clouds' shows will be? I have scoured the interweb and can find nothing. You are really keeping this on the dl. Of course, maybe that is all part of your plan... to take over the world!
