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. |

| Reaching Quiet is a duo, made up of dudes from cLOUDDEAD, and they just released twenty-three baffling tracks. A crooked carnival record, In the Shadow of the Living Room is a strange mix of tribal beats, samples, off-key camp sing-alongs and out-of-tune guitars, eccentric chanting, weird rapping and some pretty pianos. This record has the feel of a soundtrack for an early 20's black and white documentary. - Interference |
