Tour De Vaap

Here’s a new band that’s I’ve been listening to a lot lately after hearing about them from these guys.  Comprised of Josh Wembeke, Josh Wembeke and…Josh Wembeke (a very talented guy if you ask me), The Morning Clouds are a kind of shoegaze band with a little surf and hard rock thrown in for good measure.  The lyrics are simple and sweet and among all the distortion are some great pop gems (see “Ends” one of the best album closers I’ve heard in a while).  Wembeke recorded the entire EP, coming in at just under thirty minutes by himself and released the EP on Lefse Records (How To Dress Well, Tape Deck Mountain and some other great artists) last week.  This album is full of songs of love, loss and indifference for that loss.  Listen to “The Wrong Things” below for a taste of this great EP.  If that guitar doesn’t get to you, I don’t know what will.
