Harry Cloud "Red Barn" Review

Harry Cloud is a doom, sludge, stoner, experimental band currently in LA, from Ga. I have previously interviewed Harry Cloud here, and if you want you can check out a review of the band I did when they were Single Mothers click here.  The band formally know as Single Mothers has released a new album for 2014. The album was released the first day in 2014 with six tracks of strangeness (which is a good thing). The new album entitled "red barn" has a very familiar harry cloud/single mothers sound, while at the same time question who you are listening to. The first track "dermatillomania" became my favorite song immediately. A very catchy yet odd song. was stuck in my head for the rest of the week. After the short second track "slumber" I  stopped the album and knew I wasn't listening to this right. I grabbed my box and began to roll a j. I lit the j and played the album from the beginning. Now here is my review of Harry Cloud's 2014 release "red barn". Red eyes and red barn, a glorious time... The first track just as catchy and strange as before is now becoming something... something so beautiful. I truly felt the greatness before me. There is only one Harry Cloud and this song proved it. But now as I am smiling enjoying every second, the second track "slumber" now became my favorite. All i can really say about this track is "shhh. listen". "windas~~~~~~~" was the third track and a beautiful track it was. I felt I was there with Harry Cloud as the song we being written. Anyone who has any enjoyment from music this is the song for you. A chilling song from beginning to end. The next track... (oh there's the crazy harry cloud I've been waiting for... as I feel I have smoked too much...) A trippy song yet exactly what I was hoping for when I heard Harry Cloud released a new album. It reminded me of the Single Mothers days with Indian Pussy. Only two songs left and already a great album in my humble opinion. Tooth Nails... With a title like "tooth nails" I had no idea what I was in for. As the song steadily builds up my eyes grow wider and wider. I feel a chill run up my spine. This is an eerie song and one of my favorite Harry Cloud styles. I knew what I was doing when I restarted this album. And I recommend, its not necessary to enjoy this album but smoke em if you got em. Which brings us to the last track "w0rmhole"... Now how to describe this song without giving too much away. about 25 seconds in if you are in the altered state this is tripping you out. Harry Cloud does techno but in a very strange and eerie way. When it comes down to it, Harry Cloud my friend you've done it again. You have released an album that we the fans will hold in our hearts forever. If you are a fan of Harry Cloud or single mothers and haven't realized they had a name change, this album I recommend. It has all Harry Cloud factors, the strangeness, the eerie sounds, the haunting riffs, the beautiful melodies, the wondering of what is next. And if you haven't heard of Harry Cloud... go to my review and check them out and hey red barn is a great place to start to listen to harry cloud because with this brilliant mind, anything is possible. Check out the album below and if you enjoy he gives you a name your price for all his albums. Become a fan and enter the world of HARRY CLOUD...
