Really digging the new direction they have taken. I must admit that, probably because I was expecting something along the lines of their previous self-titled album,  at first I thought the new album was a bit bland, as the melodies are subdued and the tempo is slow, but somehow or other I gave it chance after chance, and that's when the album's subtle nature hit me. Now I'm ready to say it's their best release to date. It looks like they really found their own nook with this sound. I'm ready for more. 

Out To Sea by Ólafur Arnalds

Recorded in just six days at Brighton Electric in September 2010, As The Spirit Wanes will be released in the UK on January 31st, 2011. Whilst from the outside last year has looked rosy for Codes In The Clouds with a remix album release, successful tours and festival slots, it’s also been a difficult year behind the scenes. Yet personal loss has proven a collective driving force, bringing the band closer as a group and shaping their surprisingly optimistic second offering:

“It’s not that the album has a set concept or theme, it’s just that each member of the band went through similar experiences around the same sort of time. So naturally, this is reflected in the album. We all feel really close to it, and it’s definitely the music we want to make. It’s a very personal record to us and we feel it’s a big step forward from the first release. The songs are definitely a better reflection of us as a collective of people. Hopefully others will identify with the ideas within the record and can relate it to their own experiences.” 

Co-produced by Erased Tapes initiator Robert Raths and label mate Ryan West, then mastered by Nils Frahm at his studio in Berlin, As The Spirit Wanes could almost be described as a family affair. Even the artwork has been inspired by the band’s time in Iceland, performing as part of the Erased Tapes label night at Iceland Airwaves 2010. Most importantly, it’s all about songs with As The Spirit Wanes offering its listener stunning melodies and razor-sharp hooks. From the Beach Boys pop appeal of Look Back, Look Up to the euphoric Washington, down to the emotionally charged two-minute hymn If I’d Have Known This Was The Last, Codes In The Clouds embody their genre in its most rewarding form. 


‘Delicate guitar-focussed passages that bloom and explode with a primitive, dramatic beauty...with "Look Back, Look Up" as close as the genre gets to pop’ *** – UNCUT
