Omar Rodríguez López - The Clouds Hill Tapes - 3LP
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The Clouds Hill Tapes Part I, II & III are 20 new songs produced by Johann Scheerer and performed by Omar Rodríguez López and a range of guest musicians. They are going to be released as a 3 x 12" vinyl box set on July, 24th. It comes with 10 monochrome photographic prints takes during the recording session at Clouds Hill Studio in 2019.

The artwork is a photograph of the original tape used for the session. It looks very high end because analog photography with the right lighting can look very high end. People these days tend to think that high end photography looks grainy compared to digital non-high end photos. It doesn’t!

Even the unwinding tape is real! It took two days to photograph it like this. The cardboard slipcase features three cut outs (in the photo of the tape reel) like those tape reels have. So if you slip the vinyl in, the grooves create the illusion of wound tape.

Came into this album because I decided on a whim to start working through the projects Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has been involved with. Ended up falling in love with the album on its own merits, not to mention the strength of Teri's vocals. Cannot recommend it enough. jrsmith17

Que Dios Te Maldiga Mi Corazon

On what is effectively an MTV Unplugged of the self-titled album, Cedric and Omar beautifully strip-back and overhaul its songs to work in a softer acoustic setting, with most for me being on par if not an improvement on their originals. I think the effect is best seen on some of the S/T's more energetic songs like 'Graveyard Love', which feel completely different. Also, shoutout to 'Palm Full Of Crux' too; it's even more intimate and sorrowful now. Favorite track: Palm Full Of Crux (acoustic). Xtra Happy
