Claude9 – Clouds So Low
Clouds So Low by Claude9 is a striking combination of 1990s breakbeats, experimental electronic forms, and ethereal synth pads that creates a dreamy, surrounding atmosphere. The music, inspired by an unexpected moment on a journey to Lockhart, TX, where the clouds were so low they felt nearly tangible, represents a playful sense of floating between reality and imagination. The song begins with a nostalgic tribute to 1990s electronic music, with breakbeats mixed with unusual synth elements that set the stage for a growing audio trip. At 0:52, the song takes a semi-experimental turn, including distorted, otherworldly synth sounds that perfectly move into Claude9’s vocoder-treated vocals. This future vocal effect contributes to the song’s electronic spirit, recalling the golden era of 1990s dance music. As the song progresses, the groovy beat becomes an ongoing force, while slight reggae overtones emerge, providing warmth and soul. This combination of electronic nostalgia and reggae-inspired beat makes Clouds So Low an intriguing sound trip, especially for fans of 1990s electronic culture. With its psychedelic undertones and lush, layered music, the single takes listeners to a world where the past and future perfectly connect.
