Slow Moving Clouds – Starfall
Irish/Icelandic trio Slow Moving Clouds offer new variations on old forms, finding a hidden door connecting Martin Hayes with Sigur Rós.
Last year’s album ‘Starfall’ was a slow-burning gem and they have just released a video (above) for the title track, which is as minimalist as they come.
Slow Moving Clouds play the Workman’s Club, Dublin 2 tomorrow night in an intriguing double-bill.
Support comes from Italian/French duo Varo, who have just uploaded a live video featuring their drone-driven rendition of an old Scottish folk tune from 1793, ‘Ye Jacobites By Name’, in which band members Consuelo Breschi and Lucie Azconaga are joined by Helen Diamond. Their sound is a mix of Irish trad, medieval, baroque and folk.
Nick says: If you really don’t know Clouds at all, now is a good time to get acquainted.
