History Music / CLOUDDEAD

* CreepyMonotone - Yoni Wolf, who says everything, including some ''very disturbing'' lines in total monotone.
* MindScrew - Another thing featured in pretty much all their songs, only "Dead Dogs Two" has ever had a confirmed meaning [[spoiler:(it's a metaphor for fame)]]. "Rifle Eyes" is supposedly about 9/11, but it's not obvious if it is.
* {{Motormouth}} - Doseone, for a prime example listen to the first few bars of ''Rifle Eyes''.
* {{Sampling}} - Usually of ''very odd'' sources, including a children's show at one point.
* StealthParody - [[WildMassGuessing Some have theorized]] that the entire project is a parody of pretentious "art music" in general. If it is, it's working ''spectacularly'' thus far.
* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion - Sorta, some of their songs use incredibly strange rhyme schemes that are barely even detectable when listened to.
* WildMassGuessing - With everything from song meanings to theories about the group's ties to the Illuminati, no really.
* WordSaladLyrics - The lyrics more often than not sound like schizophrenic ramblings than actual songs.

Clouddead (almost always stylized cLOUDDEAD) was an experimental/{{hip hop}} group consisting of rappers Doseone (Adam Drucker) and Why (now known by his real name, Yoni Wolf) and DJ Odd Nosdam (David Madson), although [[VocalTagTeam all three take turns on production and mic duty.]]

To put it in very simple terms, cLOUDDEAD are a bunch of weirdos, making music for weirdos. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, influences as far-flung as 60's psychadelia, indie rock, and ambient electronica can be heard in their music, making the whole ordeal sound like a trippy mish-mash of styles. Upon the release of their debut album -''cLOUDDEAD''- (which was itself a compilation album of six separate two-track [=EPs=]) was alternately hailed as a work of genius and "smartass surrealism"; the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. The group released one more album -''Ten''- and a split EP with Music/BoardsOfCanada before disbanding, though the members reunited for the Themselves song "[=Rapping4Money=]" in 2009.

* OneOfUs - Doseone is a Politics/History geek, Yoni loves sitcoms and 80's anime.

* NightmareFuel - The group pretty much has this in every song, some even seem specially designed to make any listening LSD users have a bad trip. For example ''Dead Dogs Two''.

* StealthParody - [[WildMassGuessing Some have theorized]] that the entire project is a parody of pretentious "art music" in general. If it is, it's working ''spectacularly'' thusfar.

* TooGoodToLast - ''Two albums?'' '''''WHAT?'''''
* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible - As an extension of the MindScrew mentioned above.
