Clouddead's self-titled debut is hard-to-classify stuff; if you described it as lo-fi ambient spoken word meets surreal hip-hop with an indie rock bent, you'd be leaving a lot out. The CD compiles previously released 10"s created by MCs Dose One and Why? and producer Odd Nosdam--all members of Anticon, the West Coast hip-hop collective. The MCs rap, recite and sing words that make Beck's lyrics sound tame and fussy by comparison. Their declamation can be goofy, swaggering, funny, swinging, nasal; you name it. This extremely open-ended and varied use of language recalls the work of the sonically inclined poet Edwin Torres. Sometimes the language on this disc can be almost inaudible; then it's just another element in Nosdam's lovely and murky music. Albums this odd often confuse people. They also can be, and Clouddead is, extremely compelling. --Fred Cisterna
