Artist: Cloud Cult   Title: Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)

 

Synopsis: I am not a huge fan of the vocals because they sound kind of juvenile sometimes, but the music is great, so it's okay. Each song is really unique and combines different instruments and different music styles in an innovative way. At the same time, there's an element of drama in every song that makes listening to this album feel like an adventure. It doesn’t really matter what songs you pick from this album because they are all fantastic.

 

Recommended Tracks:

 

*1. "No One Said It Would Be Easy" - The music is very Explosions in the Sky-ish. Starts out dramatically, combining piano with techno elements, which sounds really cool. The vocals slowly start to fade in from the background as the momentum builds. Great Song!

 

*2. "Everybody Here Is A cloud" - This song is awesome. It starts out slow and mysterious and builds into a crazy choir of drums, guitar, tinkling bells, and vocals in the vein of Sufjan Stevens and sometimes Elliott Smith. Ends with a little violin sols. Very Pretty.
