Impressively impressionistic, New Clouds is a rare mix of restful and engaging, and a significant step forward for Forkner.
-
MojoNew Clouds is poised between towering psych-noise and ambient beauty, intermittently etched with quicksilver. [Nov 2009, p.101]
-
Its a synthesis of all of Forkner’s previous experiments, refined and expanded for the big screen.
-
If you're able to view it through that lens, then New Clouds has much to offer as an unscripted, decidedly un-pop kind of album: mood music and drug music, yes, but more than that, the uncompromising work of a dude making sounds strictly on his own terms.
-
New Clouds is as good a record as any to soundtrack disconnection from deep thought.
-
UncutNew Clouds is at once both denser and groovier. [Nov 2009, p.113]
-
This robot-induced hypnosis leads less to genuine enlightenment than it does to pointless New Age dehydration.
