Cloudeater: Sun and Sidearm reissue (9/11/12)
“This Place”
First released last September, Cloudeater’s Sun and Sidearm was a moody, melodic debut LP that blended rock, pop, and electronics to spacy and sexy results. The highly textured seven-song release called upon many timbres, but it leaned on worming bass lines and cooing vocals to set the tone.
Today ALARM is premiering “This Place,” an unreleased song from the Sun and Sidearm sessions. It begins with a falsetto refrain over a steady, distorted, mechanical pulse and a distant reverberated guitar, before getting wobbly and harmonized — dripping with futuristic beauty.
