Cloud Seeding is a music singles project by guitarist Kevin Serra. The project was conceived as a space for collaboration to showcase vocalists he admires. There is no one signature sound, no fixed or preconceived notions, just a space for improvisation that is free to change. Past singles include collaborations with Marissa Nadler, Nadine Carina, Greg Hatem of Heart of Hearts, Sara Syms and Kris English. More singles will be released in 2014.

When Ben Crook – one third of the group – describes their songs as “never finished, just abandoned”; he’s describing a creative process that burrows its way down and down until each track has to be wrenched away from their originator’s hands, given the sheer amount of avenues that the three-piece manage to open up during conception.

Astrid Swan's Astrid4  gets a UK release on 22nd April 2014.
“I don't care for the forest. Never been a nature creature really. I don’t go berry picking in August, I’m fine in the city. But a natural order began to outline itself in the concrete. There are black bears behind my closed eyes, wild deer hoofs in the night. “
If one song from Astrid4 embodies many of the themes within, then it's Black Bear & A Hoofer.
Taken from Astrid Swan's Astrid4 (Soliti 018)
Release date 22nd April.2014.

Chasing Rubies

Battles

you've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
you've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
we spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
and in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
hey hey marry me archie
during the summer take me sailing out on the atlantic
i won't set my sights on other seas there is no need to panic
so honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
forget the invitations floral arrangements and breadmakers
too late to go out too young to stay in
they're talking about us living in sin
hey hey marry me archie
a-r-c-h-i-e hey
