The Cloud Room are yet another NY band to saviour. Well, I’m being a bit underhanded here because all I’ve heard from them is ‘Hey Now Now’. But, if they were never to record another note they could possibly die happy because ‘HNN’ has all the hallmarks of a indispensable stalwart that’ll stalk the deepest recesses of indiedom for decades to come. It boasts a feverish Arcade Fire momentum, a frenetic yet focused rhythm and a lively character that is both as daft as a brush and as savvy as a Wall Street economist. Apparently the inspiration for the piece was borne out of the Cloud Room leadman’s brush with death. Let’s hope he has nine lives so we can squeeze a fab album out of him (their self-titled is out now). KD
