ERASED TAPES RECORDS
Launching an epic, majestic take on swooning post-rock, Kent five piece Codes In The Clouds are a band who sound equal parts Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai and Decoder Ring.
Weaving spidery guitar lines across a landscape of subdued drum patters and gorgeously strewn outbursts of distortion, DISTANT STREET LIGHTS is a song that wallows in waltz like post-rock beauty, militaristic drum beats punctuating the post-rocking instrumental sublimity. Flipside FRACTURES finds Codes In The Clouds repeating much of the same tricks, sure it may be a little post-rock-by-numbers and something Mogwai have delivered countless times previously, but none the less majestic, awe inspiring and wondrous for it.
Subdued and beautiful in places, angry and explosive in others, DISTANT STREET LIGHTS/FRACTURES sees Code In The Clouds making all the right post-rock noises to sublime effect.
BIOGRAPHY
Codesintheclouds.experimental.instrumental.music
since 29.10.06
We are a five-piece instrumental band from Kent in England.
We like making pretty music that can explode at any second.
We want our live shows to open your eyes to the post rock scene and show you why it's such a fast growing thing
After a few months of song writing, amp breaks, drummer swappage and a German tour we're set to promote our upcoming release on Erased Tapes Records late summer 2007, which we recorded at The Fortress Studios and Rogue Studios in London, and is currently being mixed by Todd Howe (Boxer) and Mike Unwin.
