This is Tomorrow
"Band Of Cloud’s David Owen has previous. Hailing from Leeds, he knocked about with Soft Cell early doors, hoovered up 80s synthpop, got distracted by The Sisters Of Mercy, formed The Hollow Men, dropped out for a couple of decades and popped back up in 2011 with the utterly brilliant ‘We Know Where The Time Goes’ by The FLK – a folk version of The KLF’s ‘Chill Out’. Yes, it’s as great as that sounds. Judging by all that, ‘This Is Tomorrow’ should be good. David reveals that the first album he b…

Utterly horizontal in attitude, utterly heavenly in realisation, this is a corker even by PITP's very high stan…
Paréidolie

The album embodys Cabarets Voltaire’s industrial electro-funk sound and their punk et…
