Plosivs: Yell at Cloud [Swami]
In 2022, the San Diego punk-rock supergroup of Pinback’s Rob Crow, Rocket From the Crypt’s John Reis and Atom Willard, and Mrs. Magician’s Jordan Clark launched a debut album as Plosivs. By that point, the band had already began work on its follow-up, albeit in lower than best circumstances. Already hemmed in at a Winnipeg studio resulting from COVID-19 lockdowns, the band was stranded by an enormous Arctic storm and compelled to work by candlelight in beneath freezing situations. (To cite the label copy, “Think about a band making an attempt making a file in John Carpenter’s The Factor.”) However file the group did, ultimately overcoming the darkish interval of the album’s creation to finish the claustrophobic recordings and launch them, as Yell at Cloud, on Reis’ stalwart label Swami.
