MARK & THE CLOUDS - VINYLOVY SINGEL (7") YOU AND ME IN SPACE /.. /7

Popis - YOU AND ME IN SPACE /.. /7:
Based in London, Mark & The Clouds are formed around the nucleus of songwriter Marco Magnani (vocals, guitars), John O'Sullivan (bass, backing vocals), and Shin Okajima (drums). Their influences range from early Pink Floyd and Beatles through the cream of '60s psychedelia and beyond. Evolving from from UK psych sensations Instant Flight (who collaborated with the legendary Arthur Brown), Mark & The Clouds have released two albums of psych pop splendor on Mega Dodo: 'Blue Skies Opening' (2014) and 'Cumulus' (2017) as well as 'Waves' (2021) on Gare du Nord. Psych pop for the 21st Century, 'You And Me In Space' takes us on a cosmic trip to the edge of the galaxy, fueled by love and a blissed-out dissolution of all that keeps us from soaring beyond our everyday confines. Recorded in an industrial estate in North London, the band set the scene by filling the room with multi-colored lights before deploying a full range of vintage equipment and psychedelic effects: backwards Telecaster through a Big Muff pedal, Hofner bass, space-age organ and even high-pitched, fuzzed-out vibrations made by blowing through blades of grass. Recorded during the 'Waves' album sessions and selected specifically as an exclusive song for the Hypnotic Bridge 45, 'Clocks' is dedicated to those who love the sound of the wah-wah guitar in its most psychedelic setting. Drummer Shin Okajima's dramatic drum on the intro was inspired by the style and sound of the traditional Japanese Wadaiko.
