Cloudkicker is the alias of Ben Sharp, who has been making music under that name for 7 years now. Mixing metal, electronica and post-rock into a blurred concoction that soothes as much as it riffs, this particular EP reminds me of a reflective instrumental version of Minus The Bear in some places with some finger-tapping goodness. Cloudkicker's music has taken on many forms over the years, but this release is definitely my favorite. Not as aggressive or pummeling as some of his other works, this mini-album is truly where Cloudkicker comes into his own as an electronic producer. If you like Tycho, you'll swoon over Cloudkicker. Listen to this on the beach with a summer sunset behind you and experience bliss.
