MH-212 Reaching Quiet - In The Shadow Of The Living Room  why? and odd nosdam, two-thirds of the cLOUDDEAD dirt-hop massive, have produced a full-length of catchy bits that each maintain the mystique of a hidden track. A year in the life of two art school dropouts, In The Shadow Of The Living Room finds the obsessive-compulsive duo fighting demons from the bedrooms of their parent's suburban homes. why?'s lyrics read like a list of secrets the world is keeping from itself; odd nosdam's production echoes the slow and low ghost of lo-fi past. Their first full-length release nearly killed them; it's the sound of Edison's ghost, a player piano, and a drum machine broadcast over a Ham radio; or Daniel Johnston and the Ghetto Boys rolling deep in a '57 Chevy with the top down in the dead of winter. |

| Described as "Daniel Johnston and the Geto Boys rolling deep in a '57 Chevy with the top down in the dead of winter," cLOUDDEAD members why? and odd nosdam make some truly amazing music or shall we say art. nosdam's low fi, dusty beats and samples compliment why?'s equally bugged-out vocals and rapping. Upon the first few listens things can sound a bit harsh on the ears, but once a listener sits down and follows along with the lyrics, the magic of this release comes to life. Standout cuts include: "The Moth," "You Choke," and "Broken Crow." Reaching Quiet has created a piece of work that is sure to please a variety of music lovers, and keep us anxiously awaiting future releases. If you're a fan of what sounds like thrift store record samples and distorted vocals, be sure to get a hold of this album courtesy of Mush Records. - Insomniac |
