Bio
Clouds as Oceans began in early 2009 as an experiment in combining noise and more delicate melodies. Since then, the sounds have shifted around that general idea.They have played relentless amounts of shows in the Bloomington area and have shared the stage with both local and nationally touring acts. Clouds as Oceans sound is at once tangible, but still completely ethereal. Using layered guitars, effects pedals, and good old fashioned rock ideas to create their own breed of thought stimulating sounds, while simultaneously still being able to make you shake your ass. Ultimately, you might be scratching your head as to why your ass is shaking, but that's the point. All leading some listeners to call the project, "devastatingly beautiful." In late 2010, the band released their first EP, entitled Tides on Pattern Hungry Records. The four tracks focus on the songs they've been performing live over the past year and a half, but reimagined for studio purposes. Maintaining the noise walls and devistating dynamics, while also focusing on bringing out more studio polished grooves and melodies. The result is a four song EP that documents the band's beginnings and live performances and also hints at the future of what's to come from the band. An introduction to a band that's equally as captivating as their intense live performances. "An experiment in Ambient Rock Chaos gone terribly right." Currently Clouds as Oceans is writing their follow up to Tides and playing shows in the Bloomington area, and hopefully touring within the next year. Purchase Tides online at patterhungryrecords.com or by emailing nsiery@indiana.edu. If you are in Bloomington, it can also be purchased at the local records stores Landlocked Music and TD's CDs and LPs. It can also be purchased at all our shows.
