MH-020 cLOUDDEAD - The Peel Session  When Doseone, why? and odd nosdam were asked to do a session for John Peel they did not immediately grasp the significance. After finding out that Mr. Peel was a champion for strangeness, limit-pushing, and discord, and that having a Peel Session was an honor bestowed on only the most groundbreaking musical artists, they began to understand. Over a marathon three day weekend in the studio, cLOUDDEAD pieced together their session - a miniature epic full of Pythonesque screaming, Blair Witch interludes, bicycles with cardboard syncopating the spokes, and electro-nonsense. Short, shockingly odd, funny and affecting, the release confirms cLOUDDEAD as a group wiling to color outside of hip-hop's traditional boundaries. |

| The Peel Sessions marquee usually means a dry run through of current "hits" or else pointless fodder for obsessive collectors. While this five track EP may not break the mold, cLOUDDEAD push the collector angle as far as possible. The longest track, "Physics of a Bicycle" is like the Danielson Famillee reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Elsewhere, it piles on all manner of found sound, monologues about their cat, a guided tour of the local graveyard and maybe even 35 seconds of hip-hop. - Wire |
