viccaspak i love this collective. had to wait a long time that something as got and mixed up as The Reindeer Section would come along. here it is. both albums are gold. Favorite track: Forest & The Squirell of Kyle-Na-No.

Stacey Emma I love this album, and mourn that I can never see it performed live. Favorite track: No Maps No Compass.

Walter Carlton My favorite accidental discovery of the year, opening my ears to the expansive musical world of John Haggis & co. Be sure to explore the older tracks on SoundCloud and get your hands on the fabulous "Return to Christiana" album if you can. Favorite track: Forest & The Squirell of Kyle-Na-No.

Barry Quinn One of my favourite albums of 2012. Beautiful atmospheric soundscapes, lovely textures, every track is full of little subtle layers, even a few "songs" in there. Favorite track: The Great Silence of Snow.

about

The album was inspired and made possible by those who happened to float through the Granny it's OK Studio in Waterford over the last year. Hence the name Band of Clouds.

Each track on the album has its own individual digital artwork,
which all download as bonus material with the album.

This is truly unique and spell-binding stuff, which somehow passed beneath my radar until it was "recommended" by Spotify. I was sufficiently curious to give it a listen and was captivated from the start, as it doesn't rely on tired conventions and cliches but is full of delightful surprises and twists which make you want to listen to it over and over.
