Drawing on the cool but insistent sounds of 80’s post-punk acts such as Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division and Bauhaus in a style not unlike such contemporaries as Interpol, the Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party, Brooklyn’s the Cloud Room became a buzz band when their superb single “Hey Now Now” became a sensation on college radio and music blogs in both America and the UK. The Cloud Room are led by guitarist and singer J, who was born in San Jose, California and came to New York City to work in independent filmmaking, having been promised a job working on a Hal Hartley project (it was given to an NYU student at the last minute). J continued to work on the margins of the movie business, but never lost interest in his first love, music. In 2004, J suffered a health crisis, and was forced to wait eighteen days for the results of an HIV test. Distraught, J began working on songs, one of which was “Hey Now Now”; when he got the good news that his test came back negative, an overjoyed J decided to focus his energies on music. Unhappy with the musicians he’d been working with, J recruited bassist Jonathan Petrow and drummer Jason Pharr from a friend’s band, Morris Air (later known as Public), and hired David H (guitar) and Steven Milton (keyboards) through ads on Craig’s List. Names for a Prohibition-era private nightclub located near the top of a Manhattan skyscraper, The Cloud Room’s demos soon attracted the attention of the New York-based independent label Gigantic Music, and in 2005 they sent the band into the studio with producer Chris Zane to record their self-titled debut album, which earned rave reviews from hipster music journals as well as mainstream publications such as Spin, Rolling Stone and the New York Times.

I just heard this one the credits of a movie no more than 5 minutes ago. I like it already. It caught my attention mainly because his voice reminds me of David Bowie's.

Hey, btw, there's a file going around posing as our new album called "Waiting..." but it isn't!! Someone just compiled old demos and EPs, so think of it as an unofficial B-Sides album but not our 2nd LP. That's totally different and totally kinda awesome and i can't wait for you guys to hear it.

"Sonic Youth" is actually just a really old self-recorded demo (like 2003). It transformed into "t-shirts" though it might be renamed "Sonic Youth" again for it's final version!

'one song band', I think, like Fool's Garden or Haddayway ;] but this one song made it's own carrier.
