“I ate guacamaya,” he says. Emile Blair… “I didn’t eat that because I’m vegan,” she replies. Ale Campos“Salsa macha!” he says with a burst of excitement Emilie Blair. These are the answers they give when asked what they ate on their tour in Mexico two years ago, as they walk by, with kitchen utensils, Nacho of The Shirota behind them, as I was preparing a homemade macha sauce for them. Welcome to this interview with Clouds.
Two years have passed since his tour in Mexico with The Shirota and we were very memorious, “My favorite place was Thank you motherwhich has very delicious vegan food,” he says. Ale. While Emile She doesn't say no to anything Jamaica has, “Flautas de Jamaica” was something that the drummer of Jamaica liked the most. Clouds.
With two albums and an EP, everything seems to indicate that little by little Clouds is no longer just a local band. “We have been touring a lot in Mexico, a lot of people there already know us.” In addition, with Spinda Records taking out Unhealthy Storms in Spain. “It makes us feel like we are crossing borders,” he tells us. Ale.
Ale and Emile They are thinking of going to other countries next year. “Well, obviously we want to return to Mexico,” he mentions. Ale. “Spain, France… Europe,” he answers. Emilebut above all they tell us that Argentina and several parts of South America would like to go. “I want to go to Japan,” he says out of the blue. Emileit is a good place to explore, and they say that many of their friends have done well there.
“When we first went to Chicago, we were so surprised. People were taking pictures with us, they were crazy and so happy,” she says. Ale Campos When asked what is the second place that loves them the most. “When we see the stats from Spotify, Chicago is in the top from places where we listen to them the most,” he tells us Ale.
“I like the shows in houses,” he says Emile. The culture of house shows The other side of the wall is much stronger. “We once played in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in the basement of a house…”, he introduces Ale. “It was winter,” he adds. EmileThey say it was cool because… Ale continues. “Well, not so cool because they robbed us merch”, but as the Show It was full of friends and people having a good time, Clouds They also had a good time. “In the end, people ended up paying extra to get back what they stole from us,” he concludes. Ale.
Touring may sound spectacular to us, but for the independent artist… “The hardest thing about touring is finding a comfortable place to sleep,” he answers. Ale. “And make money,” he adds. Emile. Clouds comes to the conclusion that very few people want to pay to see a band and that… “Promote shows It has become more difficult and people are less interested in it,” he says. Ale.
Sometimes we go to play somewhere where we are very little known and people are very cold, but we try to give a Show “It's amazing that people want to see us again,” he says. Ale.
The new album of Clouds It's supreme and it's a pretty loud evolution in his career, no complaints. But there's one song in particular that really caught my attention and for me it's the best of the whole album: “Caress”.
“I think it was a bit difficult to record it, but since it was the longest we thought about recording it right away, no matter what came out, and I think it came out well,” he tells us. Ale“I think we recorded it very quickly compared to the others,” he answers. Emile. Besides, it's rare that people have the patience to listen to long songs these days, isn't it?… “A lot of people have told us they love that song and we're thinking about making a video for it,” he says. Ale. “The next album will be pure post punk,” he says laughing. Emile.
And to finish and take advantage of the fact that it was there Nachowe had doubts about which one Shirota He is the funniest… “Of course I am the least funny, I am not a jerk,” he answers. Nacho. “The funniest one is Wicho”, they say in unison Ale and Emile. “He has a good sense of humor and his jokes are super absurd, we love him very much,” concludes the interview.
