Codes In The Clouds

Rating: 7

Rock Sound live faves, Codes in the Clouds, have created a debut record of real maturity. Perhaps not as immediate or obviously melodic as the likes of Explosions in the Sky or This Will Destroy You, the six tracks here are slow burners; mood builders that twist and turn as they evolve, shimmering slightly before building to a crescendo. ‘Paper Canyons’ might not be a classic post rock record, it lacks the absolute stone-cold killer cuts of, say, This Will Destroy You’s s/t record, but it brims with potential and suggests what’s to come next should be something really special.
