Travel the sky...Cloud Atlas

Why spend time travelling the world, when you can travel through the clouds?

Around since early 2006, Cloud Atlas is from Cardiff, Wales. The band consists of Alun King - Drums, Rose Jennings - Bass/Vocals, Gareth Mogg - Guitar/Vocals and J Neasom - Guitar/Vocals/Synth/Toy Keyboard. You can tell just from that introduction this group delivers original music with multi-talented musicians. Combine their talents with the overwhelming energy they exude and you've got yourself some amazing tunes!

I was able to ask them some questions and their responses were fun and witty while being honest, which is the same type of trend you'll find in their lyrics.

1. How would you describe your sound?
"Our sound can be varied... We've got three songwriters in the band, so our set is usually quite diverse. We're tending to head towards an indie rock/pop mix currently though, taking influences from Talking Heads, Deus and Regina Spector; to name a few."

2. Who would you most like to support if you could go on tour with anyone?
"Tough one :) aside from tactically supporting a crap band, to make ourselves look really good, there are many many legendary bands to choose from such as Blondie, Weezer, The Manics, the aforementioned Deus and Regina. But I think if we were to support one band, it would have to be Muse. How could we turn them down?"
So take a listen:
Cloud Atlas - "Even Astronauts" (mp3)
Cloud Atlas - "Late Nights and Snake Bites" (mp3)
