Something creatively outstanding to stop you in your tracks – a sound that’s unique, cinematic and interesting, whilst feeling somehow both calming and unsettling, atmospheric and haunting; with great instrumental choices and refrains.
Bruno Arredondo is an alt-rock musician, songwriter, and creative leader of NYC cult band The Dye. Clouds is a deeply introspective work, which, in my view, blends a kind of contemporary jazz vibe with something more cinematically niche and noir.
There are melodies through, almost like sung segments in a story, along with moments of evolution and change, of instrumental variation, but this is all within a certain hypnotic production, and emotionally we progress through stages of rising urgency towards blissful calm, contemplation, and stillness.
