From Speaketh In The Tongue Of The Forest : CDR
The best part of going to the brick and mortar stores is finding some magical recordings that you never would’ve seen or heard about before. This band is one such find. I was flipping through the bins the other day when I came across this band, Cloud Temple. The description for the band name checked John Fahey and Six Organs Of Admittance, two of my favorite musicians ever. Plus, this album was just self-released in a semi-ridiculous edition of 25, in the double 3″ CDR format. So, I just had to pick it up.
Not knowing anything about the band, I was complete blown away when I finally got home to put this on the CD player. These are some beautiful songs filled with acoustic guitars, drones and Eastern tones. Probably due to the format, the songs are more like short sketches whereas his full length, which I would love to hear, has only 3 songs. You can still get this and his full length on the Reckless Records website or through the artist himself on his page. Highly, highly recommended.
