And they said it couldn’t be done. Then again, “they” say a lot of things, don’t they? And in this case, when they implied, insinuated or outright insisted that Boston rock freewheelers Clouds couldn’t possibly get any more awesome, they - in the sadly timeless words of the soon-to-be ex-President of the USA - severely misunderestimated our immensely talented and totally gregarious homeboys. And so it follows that Clouds have followed up last year’s ‘Legendary Demo’ with an even bigger, better and more brilliant slab of hot rock action.

Led by the estimable and inimitable Captain Adam McGrath (Cave In) and set for release on September 1st, this latest offering ‘We Are Above You’ delivers all the anthemic choruses, white hot licks and psychedelic grandeur that anyone could ever possibly hope to cram into a single album made by mere mortals.

The addition of new bassist, Johnny Coolbreeze (Octave Museum, Pet Genius) should also not be understated. Johnny lends his angelic voice to this new batch of compositions, meaning that already blown minds should prepare to be officially re-blown.

The members of Clouds have extensive touring and playing experience, and it’s none more clear when you see the band live. Having recently brought the house down at the Hydra Head showcase at SXSW, future touring plans are currently in the works and soon to be announced.
