about

We made the demo for Silver Cloud while we were still on the road in early 2020. The song just had a lot of gliding wavetable synthesizers with heavy distortion and a simple kick/snare drum pattern. It was one of those little demos that would probably be too weird to make it on to a record. "It ended up on our private soundcloud playlist and I remember Wannes being really excited about it. Since the concept of the EP was to record all tracks with all of us playing it at the same time, we thought it was a fun challenge to see if we could make this thing work." After a few days working on it we were all really afraid that we accidentally turned into a cheesy rock-song, so we ended up using an insane auto-tune pedal to mess up the vocals after we recorded it. Also Wannes played the guitar solos on this song instead of Koen, since his lack of guitar-playing skills added something really nice and fun.

lyrics

to commit is to come out
to forfeit with words of doubt
i’m not saying i’ll do right
i just pray that we’ill be fine

on a silver cloud
hear their hopeful shouts
on a silver cloud

let the lies crop us in place
i’m the rain on your dirty face
i could settle just to end this game
and break like a modern man

to fulfill and to get out
to sedate with words of doubt
i kept thinking i was right
now i pray that we’ll be fine

on a silver cloud
hear their hopeful shouts
on a silver cloud

let the lies crop us in place
i’m the rain on your dirty face
i could settle just to end this game
and break like a modern man
to break is a modern win

let the lies crop us in place
i’m the rain on your dirty face
i could settle just to end this game
and break like a modern man
tob break is a modern win

about

Klangstof Amsterdam, Netherlands

In the aftermath of recording their (still officially unannounced) third album, Amsterdam alternative formation Klangstof (Koen van de Wardt, Wannes Salomé, and Erik Buschmann) weathered an inspiring but emotionally-taxing storm, recording their most open-hearted, sonically ambitious material yet. This became Ocean View a four-song release that offers a candid glimpse of the band’s wavelength. ... more
