New EP by Cloudsound - "II" - and updates

Heligator Records (run by Tome founder Ryan H.) is extremely excited to bring to you this collection of gold-bathed guitar tones by American-by-the-way-of-Sweden Lee Boyd, who records under the name cloudsound.
To me, "II" sounds like it was birthed in discovery. It is an effort to capture moments of unexpected beauty when a pedal is turned ever-so-slightly, or that moment right before dusk when the sky explodes into radiant oranges and reds. "II" is full of moments like that. Faintly oscillating guitar drones, opaque guitar lines etched with waves of distortion that crest just at the right moment. This album is about trying to stake a living in those moments.

Turning on the sustain pedal is the aural equivalent of taking a picture. We could live in this hope forever.

As always, all proceeds from the sale of "II" will go to the Malindza Refugee Camp Library to pay for the general upkeep, supplies and stipend for the librarian. The camp has been experiencing a rough time. Your donations go a long way.

The Refugee Camp has recently undergone extensive rennovations forcing all of the refugees to live in tents while the rennovations are completed. Recently, a spate of fires have broken out killing two children. The affected families were forced into the two adjacent rooms to the library and all of the supplies and furniture from that room were moved into the library forcing it be closed for a few weeks.

The library is back to operation now that school is back. The camp is experiencing a rough patch. Your contributions help quite a bit.
