It’s been an undeniable joy to witness the thrilling progression of the ever-evolving, rowdy wonk-pop peddlers – Crack Cloud. from the unbridled rumpus of their debut ep, through the cinematic exhilaration of previous dinked, ‘Pain Olympics’, all the way to 2022’s beguiling ‘Tough Baby’, the Calgarian’s approach has never faltered.
They’ve changed tack and direction as and when the mood takes them, and, when it does, they take these wild shifts in their galloping stride. so, whether it’s Zach Choy’s unhinged snarl, slamming cadences from the rhythm section, or perfectly plinked pianos, the dynamic transformations all feel like an intrinsic part of the Crack Cloud experience.
With more ideas tumbling from their sleeves than can be contained within the depths of the mariana trench, crack cloud are yet again the pace setters that we should all be keeping an eye and a pair of ears on as they burn off into the shimmering horizon of ‘Red Mile’.
