HERE COMES A BIG BLACK CLOUD:
Pompeii: LP
The record opens with a bunch of strange sounds, screeches, and then an ominous organ cuts in, making way for some dirty, bizarre, garage rock that sounds as if it was recorded in a subterranean recording studio. Scratch that… a subterranean recording studio that has been set on fire. The cover art features what appears to be satanic Teletubby—and the liner notes seem to be written by either a very hateful fan or, possibly, a jaded member of the band. This genre usually isn’t even my thing, but I was honestly blown away by this weird slab of plastic.-razorcake

"The debut release from this Portland band is totally bitchin'!!! At it's root, it's just lo-fi rock, but it's catchy as hell and other influences filter through the fuzz. Each member of the band seems to have their own style that blends together perfectly to give them their distinctive sound. The B-side is a psychedelic post-punk dance-jam gem!"-Maximum Rock N Roll

Here Comes A Big Black Cloud! "Black Mold" 7"
Clunky band name aside, HCABBC come through with some rammin'n'jammin weirdrock here. I never heard the previous 12", but Rob liked it, so that's good enough for me. Portland dudes making with the twisted punk. Heavy burl on the drum-n-rhythm with jabberjawing vocals and bits and pieces of synth noise and shit thrown in here and there making for a monstrous stew. Definitely more rock than weird, and it's not so much primo scree as it is a really rhythmic lumber. "Black Mold" is dark and inviting at the same time, a wee bit similar to some Detroit strangeness (Terrible Eye Perfume whathaveyou...) with some Pac-NW creep lodged in there as well. "Psychic Violence" keeps up the rhythmic bob, showing they can find a catchy groove and stick with it while allowing the weird gusts to blow around the rest of the tune, a winding organ slide, perhaps some theremin, a slightly surfy gui-twang...lots of pieces making for a satisfying whole, nothing sounds too forced or unnecessary. You can be weird and still adhere to some structural rock constructs folks. Don't let the band name or put you off, this is solid listening material here. I have to say that 3-D record covers are always a let down though, glasses included or not. Self-released, with a 10" titled "Party Vietnam!" forthcoming.(RK)-Terminal Boredom
Here Comes A Big Black Cloud - Black Mold
this video rots. the people in it are either trying to be cool, funny, or inventive and failing soo bad! sure you had fun making it, but keep crap like this out of public view - it's nauseating, disgusting, and frankly makes you look like a dumb redneck...no offense- ashleigh83ny via youtube
