Short Reviews [Mark & The Clouds - 2021 - "You and Me in Space"]

UK threesome Mark & The Clouds released this single on the label Hypnotic Bridge Records earlier this year. The A-side is pulled from their current album "Waves", and is a fine and light toned 60's psychedelic affair with some occasional cosmic effects latched on to some fine and uplifting moods, with the organ, acoustic guitar and the electric guitar all being central instruments. For B-side 'Clocks', the band opts for a darker sound with a bit more dramatic impulses added in, and with the Mellotron taking the place of the organ as the provider of floating textures and the more elegant psychedelic guitar details being replaced with a firmer, grittier and more playful performance by the electric guitar. A single that should be quite the satisfactory experience for those who cherish retro-oriented psychedelic rock.
