Mr Moonman
The melodic drama of OCS’ ‘Get Blown Away’ links arms with the Stones and Stanley Road and Heavy Soul era Weller on this fine rock revival single.
Frontman McLeod adds a steely, smoky, and bluesy vocal that’s steeped in anguish and hope alike. Aiding and abetting Mcleod are backing vocals packed with such emotive power that they’re worthy of the cult hero Luciano Vargas.
You Don’t Know Me
Moonlit indie licks and eloquently powerful keys reminiscent of The Rifles combine with Steve Craddock’s penchant for showmanship. McLeod counters the creative flourishes with an aching sense of regret. His vocal cuts through the influences and conjures a path for The Clouds to walk tall along.
