Cloud Boat

Youthern

Sounds like: James Blake, Bon Iver, Dauwd
A slight warning: this tune is so tragically beautiful, it hurts.Cloud Boat is a twosome out of the UK, and damn it, they have something to say. "Youthern" is a single off their upcoming release Book of Hours. With a beat that might make James Blake take a second look in the mirror, the track is both robust and deprecating. A slow diffusion of drums and vocals seem to slice listeners with microscopic razor blades as cerebral poetry tumbles mellifluously through the airwaves.Now I will leave you with the lyrics, as nothing I am going to write here will be half as poignant:they burned them and screamed"come down with us, come down with us"¦"i've never felt love, 'cause of the state of usknow me until i goknow me until i'm donei've never felt love, i found them down therethese pictures of me as a boythey burned them, and screamed"come down with us, come down with us"i've never felt love, 'cause of the state of uscome down with us, come down with usknow me untl i gocome down with us, come down with us
