Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.50
Catalog #:	MH 026EP

"Boards of Canada team up with cLOUDDEAD on the latest release from Mush's successful left-leaning trio. Taken from their second full-length release TencLOUDDEAD's original mix finds the group in top form, as an infectious melody, live bass, and odd nosdam's signature drum programming encompass vocals from Doseone and why?. The bonus cut 'Mulholland Instrumental' comes from the same sessions that spawned parts of their new album, and here cLOUDDEAD revisits the sweeping pads and ambient drones of their debut. Starting with the vocals from the original, Boards of Canada create a completely new backing track of epic strings and analog keyboards with an absolutely pitch-perfect ending. Dead Dogs Two combines all of the elements that have come to signify the cLOUDDEAD sound, and the addition of a Boards of Canada remix elevates this release to must-hear status."

"cLOUDDEAD is the avant-hiphop grouping of Doseone, why?, and odd nosdam. Fusing abstract beats, ambient pads, and interweaving vocals, cLOUDDEAD has created a release that owes as much to the Beatles as it does to hiphop. Like Dose and why?'s Greenthink project, cLOUDDEAD renounces the traditional hiphop song format in favor of music made in movements. Six such movements were created to be released as a limited edition 10" series. Each release features a guest (Illogic, DJ Signify, Sole, The Wolf Bros, Mr. Dibbs, and The Bay Area Animals) and focuses on a specific theme. All six are combined to create a full length CD that nullifies any preconception of style and raises the artistic bar for future Mush releases."

Title:	Ten
Label:	MUSH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MH 230CD

"On Ten, cLOUDDEAD builds on all the elements that defined their debut: razor sharp vocal interplay, quirky found sound samples, ambient drone dreamscapes, lyrics that walk the line between observational and confessional, and a fair share of odd nosdam's drums slowed to a growl. Whether scorning America's gun culture, using a car crash as a metaphor for stardom, or describing a tour van window view that includes oil drills and a dead deer, Doseone and why? never take the cheap way out. Their lyrics may range from blurry and buried to sharp and surfaced, but each and every line has meaning. The music and production are collaborative, featuring Doseone's knack for articulating emotion, why's self-taught multi-instrumentalist efforts, and odd nosdam's flair for borrowed genius. Individually, Doseone, why? and odd nosdam are are prolific and fearless as anyone in new music today, but together as cLOUDDEAD they create music that captures all the promise of their individual talents in an unequaled sound. Ten is cLOUDDEAD's crowning achievement."
