About Me

Future Clouds and Radar, Austin purveyors of “sprawling orchestral art rock,” (New Yorker) released their celebrated double-disc debut earlier this year. This storied ensemble whose live show can feature up to 16 musicians at a time is the latest creation of Robert Harrison, bestknown as the leader of Austin cult-garage-heroes, Cotton Mather. Hear why critics are saying “2007 may well be the year of Future Clouds & Radar.” (Pop Culture Press)
“A magnificent double-disc collection of pop gems – 4 stars!”
- Paste Magazine
“Future Clouds and Radar remind you why God made double CD packages: to experiment wildlywhile creating pop that glistens.”
-Philadelphia Inquirer
“27 tracks of enchantment…convince us that one band can provide enough variety and cohesionto make the album format still seem viable.... shows that the long form statement isn't yet done.”
-No Depression
“Trippy, psychedelic bliss that comes from either Austin or somewhere between the 13th FloorElevators and ELO.”
-USA Today
“Whether FC&R is essaying dreamy, electronicaized psychedelia, blue-eyed soul anthemry, Latin-flecked jangle-pop, or full-guns a-blazing, fuzzed-out garage, the material is executed withjazzlike precision and suffused with a deep emotional, spontaneous vibe.... a musical vision thisexpansive can't be contained on just one disc.”
-HARP Magazine
“The transcendent moments make you glad you have ears.”
-Popmatters
