cloud boat | model of you | our sunday best

A cathedral of sound where within a soul can finally know rest.

Cloud Boat is a duo of two (Sam Ricketts & Tom Clarke), but they bring together the pieces of countless souls. Tom Clarke has a voice chiseled from the light just reaching us after light years of travel. His is a voice alive with dead things. It is the relic of hope and fear, it is a sweet drop of sound which enters our collective ears and ignites the spark of life. A sound particle on which the first steps of resilience are built

The duos sophomore album Model Of You emanates with songs which appear light and gossamer, but in reality are laden with the heavy stuff of our human experiences. The trick is, they make the weighty and fissured cross of anxiety and mental disarray bearable. Head over to NPR’s First Listen to check out the Model Of You in it’s entirety. However, after the jump hear a glimpse, the songs Hideaway and the Smith’s cover, Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want Tonight are imbued with séance and restrained melancholy. Peace.
