About
Silver Cloud Express is the latest project from Jamie Laboz and Cristina Williams, the founders of local garage rock outfit, The Modeens. They were drawn more and more to the trippier, deeper side of their music. They started playing shows with other 'neo-psychedelic' bands, adding kaleidoscopic visuals and new spaced-out, more epic songs they'd been experimenting with until they realized this was a new entity that needed a new name - enter Silver Cloud Express. They teamed up with drummer Daniel Thomas and took to the studio last November with Jim Waters of Waterworks to record basic tracks for their first three tunes. Jamie then took them into his laboratory and carved out sonic landscapes that take the listener on a journey through each track.
What Silver Cloud Express created are three stories of our times: "Colors" shines a light on the apathy in our culture and our collective wish to escape into the "colors of our dreams"; "Dark Light" describes the bizarro world where what we thought was reality has become twisted and unfamiliar; and "The Bridge" is a bold, anthemic cry to build a bridge between our divided people, higher than any wall.
These three tunes make up their debut EP, Colors. Silver Cloud Express is releasing the cassette version at their last show at The Flycatcher on June 23rd with fellow neo-psychedelic comrades, The Psychedelephants (PHX) and Tropical Beach.
