Album Notes

"Impressions from the living room"
There are times, where we experience cloudy moments and despite being in the midst of our life, we feel fragile and on the verge of falling. It's like having a bad dream about swimming against the current, and you don't seem to move forward or a dream about floating in the air without getting anywhere. What if you like the feeling of it? You almost want to luxuriate in that self-induced melancholy?
Singer and songwriter Patty Moon's infatuate voice and producer Tobias Schwab's electronic effusions on their debut album Clouds Inside help you hang in there and dip into their rich metaphoric world, where the devil, "Mister Sky" and a dragon heart shake hands to keep you in a bittersweet little downer.
The duo from Southern Germany, who started out in 1998, before growing to a full band within the following year deliver a fine collection of 12 floating Trip Hop compositions.
The album starts off with the slurred "Mister Sky" and grows into a pretended harmonic landscape of melodies, rich electronic elements and athmospheric, acoustic string sounds like on "Second Winter". What these first tracks do with musical complexity, songs like "Me And the Moon" easily achieve with the simplicity of a string orchestra, bowed guitar and Patty's charming, slightly fragile voice. "Clouds Inside" is a passionate, musically impressive album, which is brave for going on trip hop paths of the nineties, capturing enough individuality to stand out to this day."
