Majical Cloudz Are You Alone?

A peculiar feeling of repose and stateliness surrounds the music of  Majical Cloudz, a duo that compresses elephantine emotions in dense, minimal suites. There is no place too small for them to occupy, sculpting simple ideas into grand gestures that are filled with beauty and awe. Their adherence to a certain impersonality, at least in presentational terms, manifests a sheer absence of being; the album covers are coated in delicate hues of white, and the only text you see is the title itself, though they’re always carefully chosen words, meaningful and exact. It enhances the album’s intent and leaves a slight bit of guesswork before even considering a single sound, even if you can surely ascertain the mood it sets to achieve.
