DESERT CLOUDS Release New Single
Heavy psychedelic rockers DESERT CLOUDS have released their song “Speed of Shadow” over at The Obelisk. The song is from their upcoming album Planexit which will be released on Mandrone Records March 25, 2022.
The band comments:
“Speed of Shadow”- lead single of the album – shows how a nameless man realizes that the environment, the planet and any circumstance cannot be the issue until you’re part of them. He understands that running away from anything doesn’t have any effect if you don’t escape yourself first.”

THE CHAINSMOKERS LAUNCH INFECTIOUS NEW SINGLE AND OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “IPAD”
“Sometimes you let go just to know where to start,” Drew says. “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anyone that would listen, but I had reached a level of cognitive dissonance that I felt was unexplainable. I don’t keep a journal so writing this song and the others on this album (and past albums) is my opportunity to organize my thoughts. If you listened to ‘Sick Boy’ you know what I mean. ;) We feel really lucky we get to do it in song form and that you are willing to listen. It’s helped us a lot, so thank you. The next bit of the story is called ‘iPad’ and it’s out now. Thanks for being here.”

He is the bringer of light on our planet both in the material and spiritual way, and it’s in the hands of each to find their own light and understanding to wake up from so many layers of lies set through time.”
