New discovery: Clouds, a doom metal band from the UK

[Huw the Poo]

I knew the mute friendship I have with my sole contact on Last.fm would one day pay dividends!  I was just browsing her scrobble history today and happened upon Clouds.  She has excellent taste in music and Clouds are her most-played band so off I went to investigate...

Finding them hiding in a little hole in Bandcamp, I listened to their album and was blown away.  This is doom done right.  I'm not generally a big fan of the genre but the album Doliu is bloody amazing.  So melancholy, so beautiful, extremely good vocals from at least two different singers and just excellent musicianship all around.  I highly recommend it.
