The first Cloudland Canyon release for kranky was recorded in
Brooklyn, Germany and Memphis. It follows on the heels of the
well received "Requiems Der Natur 2002-2004" album released on
the Tee Pee label.
Silver Tongued Sisyphus is a secular
call to prayer with humming, looping and loping ambient
passages interspersed with bursting rhythmic energy and
agitated guitar lines. Recent live shows have sounded like an
unauthorized soundtrack to netherworld versions of The Swimmer
or The Scorceror.
Pulling influences from the foggy
ether of generations past, Cloudland Canyon has staked their
claim to the shadows of cult musical culture of the late
1960's and early 1970's German underground scene.
context:
Kip Uhlhorn and Simon Wojan began collaborating under the
moniker Cloudland Canyon in 2000. Both have toiled in various
music scenes (hardcore, psych and punk) since the last
century. Recent collaborations with kranky artiste Lichens and
others have taken the duo into transcendental musical
territories. Cloudland Canyon has toured throughout the United
States and Europe. The group is in the final stages of mixing
a new full length release to be made available early in 2008
on kranky.
