Clouds Can – Leave (Progressive Promotion Records, 2017)
Leave is the new album by German act Clouds Can, a project featuring multi-instrumentalists T (Thomas Thielen) and Dominik Hüttermann. They describe their music as progressive pop, which is a pretty accurate description. It’s a set of beautifully-arranged, deeply melancholic songs.
Aside from the introspective pop sensibility, there are elements of post rock and some scarce progressive rock moments. Highlights include the epic instrumental conclusion of “Life is Strange” and the ambience and effects that open “Like Any Angel.”
