CLOUDS

There are three tracks on the EP which features a total playing time of 22:32 minutes. All tracks are exclusive to this release. The EP opens with "Cold Afterall" which is a great atmospheric and melancholic track with vocals. It´s the only track on the EP with vocals. "Cold Afterall" is in the trademark Nosound style somewhere between the spacy atmospheric rock of Pink Floyd and the melancholic and ambient pop/rock of Porcupine Tree (their most laid back and psychadelic tracks). The next track "Like the Elephant?" is a bit of an anomaly in Nosound´s discography as it features quite a heavy riff and some toying with dissonances in the guitar solo. Nosound are usually very streamlined, melodic, and atmospheric. I enjoy the difference in sound on this track which shows that there might be a little more to Nosound than what you might think if you´re familiar with their regular sound. The last track is the 10:34 minute long "Clouds". It´s an ambient track with only floating sounds made by synth. It´s a very atmospheric track and while I probably wouldn´t enjoy a full album that sounded like this there´s something special about the way Nosound create their most ambient tracks that make them enjoyable even to someone like me who usually don´t have patience for anything this ambient.

The sound production is majestic as we´re used to on Nosound releases. I greatly enjoy their clean sound which sounds like it´s recorded on top of a mountain or something like that. Just grand. "Clouds" is all in all another excellent release by Nosound. Fans of melancholic and atmospheric pop/rock with a grand sound are adviced to check this out. "Clouds" is as good an introduction to Nosound as their first two full-length albums are (even though it´s slightly more experimental). A deserved 4 star (80%) rating.
