"A female-fronted The Clientele with a slightly more American brand of melancholy."

This is the current project of Suki Ewers, a former member of Opal and Mazzy Star. After performing for several years with Anemone, a band once touted as the missing link in the country music/dream pop connection, Suki spent the last couple of years in the studio working with Joe Kennedy on a set of nine songs. These were eventually sent off to be mixed and masterd by Kramer.
The result is hazy, bittersweet pop in the vein of Galaxie 500 and Felt. The songs are at once dreamy and enigmatic yet immediately accessible. Suki manages to evoke much of the same delicately pretty gloominess as Opal while adding her own serenely melodic warmth.
That's a grueling break-neck tour itinerary ya got there. I hope you can handle it. where's the vine-all??? but it out on 78. john bonhams' birthday in a couple hours -i'm gonna celebrate buy drinking 40 shots of vodka & chokin on my vomit. it's a tradition.
Hi Suki, Thanks for adding Stormclouds as friends. Love the music - very similar to the sounds of Galaxie 500/Opal/Clay Allison etc. All big influences on Stormclouds. Best Steve
