By Tyler Fassnacht After getting downtown a little later than I had hoped I only had around an hour before El Valiente kicked off the Just Sayin is All showcase at the Overture Center , which was the main attraction for me. The only other bands I really got a chance to see were part of the Amble Down showcase, but I can't complain. The first band was the Cloud Hymn , who with guitar, piano and three voices, played your standard indie-folk, which was a very [...]

This is really the first real mix that I've posted in quite some time. Even so, it is more of a "some of the stuff that's come across my desk lately" list than an actual planned out and carefully sequenced mix. Even so, I still hope you enjoy. There's everything ranging from roots rock to metal and folk to sludgy stoner rock. And, yes, "Fake Empire" is a cover of the song from The National. MP3 | Lacktherof - Fake Empire Your Anchor [...]
Πίσω από το μυστηριώδες όνομα The Cloud Hymn κρύβεται στην ουσία ένας άνθρωπος, ο οποίος στην καθημερινή του ζωή ονομάζεται John Nielsen. Πρόκειται για έναν νεαρό τραγουδοποιό από το Wisconcin, ο οποίος έγραψε κάμποσα τραγούδια σε μια απλή ακουστική κιθάρα ενόσω σπούδαζε δικηγόρος. Για την ακρίβεια σπουδάζει ακόμα, και προσπαθεί να πάρει το πτυχίο του. Παράλληλα, όμως, ηχογράφησε τα κομμάτια μέσα σε δυο μέρες και τα κυκλοφόρησε πριν περίπου ένα μήνα στον πρώτο του δίσκο, με τίτλο A Seed Buried In The Ground , από την Ambledown Records . [...]
für eine record company gibt es keine high level garantie. gibt es nicht. natürlich, wenn der kreis der entscheidungsträger übersichtlich ist, kann man sich flott einigen, ob ein act den vorstellungen von qualität, stil und möglicher labelzugehörigkeit standhält. aber wie die musik schließlich beim verbraucher ankommt, weiß man nicht. dass sich uns mit amble down records allerdings ein laden offeriert, dem gelingt, was man kaum glauben mag, ist schon eine mittlere sensation. die haben als kleines indipendent label vor allem regionale acts um sich versammelt, die allesamt großartige musik machen. northwestern wisconsin. da müssten [...]

There's a lot of folks out there who put "Cloud" in their band name. Before today, my favorites were Cloud Cult and Cloud Room. Now I've got to add The Cloud Hymn . "A Seed Buried in the Ground" is a pensive, breathtaking record that on the surface sounds sad but, when you listen more closely, clearly is not. It's about the beauty of life, little things that mean so much. It's mostly just singer-songwriter John Nielsen of Wisconsin and his guitar, but it sounds much bigger and fuller than Bon [...]

With a poignant narrative interwoven with the simple, yet atmospherically cadent, [...]
Click to enlarge Sometimes the most wonderful things happen right outside your front door. Our front door, with its expansive view of valleys and majestic mountains, is sometimes especially magical. I wonder if the people across the road were aware that a pot of gold briefly sat on their front porch between the downpours last week? On a sunnier day, I saw this blimp cruising between us and the mountains and knew I had to grab the camera quick. The passengers must have had an amazing view that day. [...]

How do I describe " The Cloud Hymn " other than repeating the newly assigned band name? I mean, no better description for a band lies in its name than what I have before you today. In the same way the band Death Vessel seems like a polar opposite of sound to name, this is a polar opposite of that polar opposite…lost yet? Basically The Cloud Hymn might just sound exactly what you would think they would - beautiful, airy and floating along (but with guitar and piano…). Okay, seriously though, this unsigned Minnesotan talent took [...]
