Cloud Minder News:
Due to Dave's recent illness, Cloud Minder has haulted playing shows. Bob, Jay, Dave and Evan have most of the music worked out for their next release but will be waiting for Dave to get better before finishing. Please keep Dave in your thoughts during this time. You can visit Dave's blog here and show him some support.
Cloud Minder is a moody, brooding instrumental rock outfit from Philadelphia. Their first release, The Territory of this Contract is the Universe EP, was recorded and produced by Anthropic Records and can be purchased here. More recently, the band self-released a 3 track EP, Close Cover, Strike Gently that is available for purchase at shows. Like all of the band’s merchandise, each copy of the limited release set was carefully designed and hand screen-printed by its members at their home. Stay tuned for Cloud Minders' next release (rumored to be their full-length debut) in early ’09!
"Cloud Minder is Philly’s answer to what would happen if Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor bumped uglies and had a post-rock bastard lovechild. Their ominous guitar lines are patient and mesmerizing, but that is only the calm before the storm. Their shifting compositions take you on a journey into the heart of darkness. At their peaks, Cloud Minder’s jams are fierce like warriors in the heat of battle." - Q.D. Tran, Deli Magazine
