Rated: ***

There are those instances when you immediately know you are dealing with someone who never wanted to color between the lines. And then there are those instances when you immediately know that this is a cat who never even noticed there were lines. Harry Cloud is without any doubt one of those last ones and has been releasing artful and insane music under his own name, Cops, Single Mothers and many other monikers for awhile now. We love the fact he approaches every album once again as a different cul de sac to trash or a empty canvas to burn. There are no lines, all the colors you can imagine and there are definitely no rules! Unpredictable and highly erratic, the new album The Pig And The Machine hop, skips and jumps all over the place, turning noisy and sludgy one moment and then all indie and artistic the next. As if you are staring at Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue four hours on end together with Harry Cloud and a bunch of dancing dwarfs threatening to throw shit at the painting if you dare look away. How can a piece of musical art instill so many different feelings, intense glee, paranoia, schizophrenia and release? The many many heads of The Pig And The Machine will bite and chew and rip and tear and leave you wondering where all those feelings went. Leaving you weary and at the end of your tether…
