Color Of Clouds ~ Great debut

Satellite Of Love

Brooklyn-based trio Color of Clouds will digitally self-release their debut album Satellite of Love on April 6th, 2010, a follow up to last year’s well-received EP The Look. A new band by old friends, Color of Clouds is fronted by singer-songwriter and Moby touring partner Kelli Scarr with Dan Chen (Nicole Atkins & The Sea) on keyboard and Nate Greenberg on production. The band will celebrate the album with a short performance and listening party at New York City’s Pianos on Thursday, April 8th from 7-10PM.

Satellite of Love emerged from former Moonraker bandmates Chen and Scarr as they employed music therapy to recover from bitter breakups in 2008. Their struggles with guilt, loss, and heartache were transformed into earnest lyrics and sweetly textured pop songs, and soon fellow ex-Moonraker Greenberg was recruited to polish them into what is now the trio’s debut album. Already, Color of Clouds songs have been featured on hit shows Ugly Betty, One Tree Hill, Damages and Mercy.

The album opens with Kelli’s seductive song floating over gentle keys and playful strings on single “Brother,” followed by dreamy electronic glimmers on “Wonder.” She is joined by Chen on vocals for a bright interpretation of Lou Reed classic and album namesake “Satellite of Love,” and Scarr’s impressive range is showcased to full effect with loop-created a cappella on “Haunts Me.” Satellite closes with country-infused “Come Back To Me,” complete with nostalgic slide guitar and a heartfelt plea for love.
