Cloudland Canyon
An Arabesque
Cloudland Canyon's third LP, An Arabesque, was
spearheaded by founding member Kip Uhlhorn but fleshed
out with contributions from Memphis rock royalty such as
Ross Johnson (Panther Burns, Alex Chilton), Lesa Alridge
(Big Star) and Jody Stephens (Big Star), alongside
collaborative accents by Ezra Buchla, M. Geddes Gengras,
Kliph Scurlock (ex-Flaming Lips), David Scott Stone (ex-LCD
Soundsystem), and Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom
(Spacemen 3, Spectrum), who also co-produced the album.
While past recordings on Holy Mountain and Kranky flirted
with drone and krautrock modes, An Arabesque skews in a
more rhythmic direction, with shades of naive disco and new age. This particular set of songs
benefits from having been heavily road-tested over the last two years, resulting in greater
distillation and focus.
