Cloud Sounds #3: Withered Hand, Wild Beasts, Call To Mind, Thee Silver Mt. Zion and more

Article | 03 Feb 2014

In this week's Cloud Sounds playlist from The Skinny, we take a look at breaking tracks from some Skinny favourites, including in-demand Scottish synth-pop stars CHVRCHES, who offer up their cover of the classic Bauhaus track, Bela Lugosi's Dead, which they recorded for the soundtrack to the new film Vampire Academy

We've also got tracks from Ghostly International's retro-future synth wizard Com Truise, who will be releasing his Wave 1 EP on 18 February; and Edinburgh's own Withered Hand, showcasing the first single from his long-awaited second album, New Gods, out 10 March on Fortuna POP!

We've got the clash of Stones Throw and Odd Future, as Madlib and Freddie Gibbs invite Earl Sweatshirt and Domo Genesis round to spit some bars, and a new track from post-rock royalty Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (who'll be roaring through town this month, read our recent interview with band leader Efrim Menuck here). 

In addition, we have new tracks from Cloud Nothings and Olive Grove signings Call To Mind. In the remix corner, we have a take on Grizzly Bear's Will Calls by LA beatsmith and composer Baths; Daniel Avery's redux on a track by Matthew Dear's Audion alias; Factory Floor tackle Wild Beasts' Wanderlust and a very special My Bloody Valentine bootleg by recent Mush Records signing Sun Glitters, and much more.

Turn on, turn up, and zone out with Cloud Sounds #3... and follow The Skinny on Soundcloud to keep track with our weekly Cloud Sounds favourites.
