Codes in the Clouds are a new act on the wildly eclectic Erased Tapes stable. Erased Tapes have been stalking me on Myspace for months now trying to sell me this damned 7". Well, I'm not buying it but I will do them the good deed of writing a review. Basically, it's like a lo-fi Explosions in the Sky. And erm, that's it. I get a headache in my ballbag trying to write new stuff about post-rock these days. It's got come-downs & build ups, has quiet bits & then big fuck off loud bits that might tear your stupid face off if you get too close. so it's really quite good and I'm sure they're well worth catching live. This record is on white vinyl (with bonus CD) so you might have to clean it if you spill red wine on it. Or jam.

7" SINGLE COMES WITH BONUS CDR VERSION! LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WORLDWIDE. KENT BASED CODES IN THE CLOUDS DRIFT EFFORTLESSLY BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL, INSTRUMENTAL AND POST-ROCK, WITH THEIR HARMONIOUS AND BLISSED OUT SOUND. IT'S VERY PRETTY MUSIC WHICH ON THE VERGE OF EXPLODING ANY SECOND. THE BAND DEBUT WITH THE GLORIOUS DOUBLE A SIDE 'DISTANT STREET LIGHTS' / 'FRACTURES', RELEASED ON THE EXCITING NEW LABEL ERASED TAPES, WHICH IS TAKING CINEMATIC SOUND INTO A NEW DIMENSION. DREAMY ABSTRACT POLYRHYTHMS SCUDDING DELICATELY OVER GROWING THUNDERSTORMS OF DRUMS AND RAINING GUITARS; C.I.T.C. PLY A BIG AND CONFIDENT SOUND, AND OF COURSE RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THESE SONGS LOUD! RECORDED BY TODD HOWE FROM THE BOXER REBELLION.
