Crack Cloud

How many post-punk bands can evoke both Tolstoy and Andrew Lloyd Webber in a single song? Crack Cloud wasn’t born out of bored art school students, but as a fight-or-flight necessity to use art to break the cycle of addiction and mental illness. More a movement than they are a band, they go the opposite direction from many of their peers, leaning fully into the grandiose, maximalist stylings worthy of a Brazil dream sequence.
