Following on from cLOUDDEAD’s entry into the tunes of the decade, we have Why?’s latest offering: a double header on the video front for ‘These Hands’ and ‘January Twenty Something’ from their last record Eskimo Snow, which you can read about in illuminating style here.
This morbid little straight faced performance also serves as a jumping off point to illustrate the convergence (or clash) of ideas on show on cLOUDDEAD’s Ten through the output of Why?, Doseone and Odd Nosdam since they moved in different directions embracing everything from noise and shoegaze through to electronica and straight indie . . . although its more an excuse to look at the videos of 3 of the most interesting artists of the decade . . . cLOUDDEAD special anyone?
To kick things off here is Odd Nosdam’s ethereal remix of Board of Canada’s ‘Dayvan Cowboy’, which still packs in a whoomp of a typical Nosdam beat, given all the more impact from the sounds preceding it. I almost feel like it should be on the tunes of the decade list given the impact it had on me when I first heard it.
