Cool! Indie Pop from France. Have I mentioned lately how much I dig Christmas music from far away lands? Gang Clouds are a band that, at various moments, may call up compaisons to Arcade Fire and the Beach Boys.
"Will You Send Me An Old-Fashioned Christmas Card (This Year)" is an exuberent love letter to the season, played and sung as exactly that. "Say No More", I'll admit, took me til the second listen to appreciate it properly. You really have to listen to it all the way through to appreciate it properly. Once you do, you'll flash back to your pre-teen years, waiting up for the fat man (no, not your Uncle Jimmy). And that anticipation builds and builds and then...you fall asleep. Again. Man, I promised myself that wasn't going to happen this year.
Good stuff. And free from Bandcamp. Also good cover art; that's what drew me in. I keep telling people that's important, but nobody listens to me.
