A Cloud of Ravens at Shangri-La
Formed by children of the ’70s and ’80s- longtime proponents of underground culture, Brooklyn, NY’s A Cloud of Ravens weave arcane tales of love, loss, faith, life, and what loom beyond, amidst a wall of dense synth tones, ringing guitars, tribal rhythms, and myriad echoes of dubious origin, for your listening pleasure.
Beth (bass guitar) and Matthew (guitar/vocals), inspired by their longstanding and shared admiration of bands and artists that defined the stark, minimal dramaticism of the initial post-punk era, and all its related sub-genres, forged the nucleus of ACoR in the fall of 2018, immediately self-releasing their first single, closely followed by the Sacred Hearts EP, then their inaugural full-length album In the Wicked Hours, marking their place in the burgeoning contemporary scene.
