Clouds in a Headlock – Breakfast in Phantasia: https://fatbeats.lnk.to/breakfast-in-…

To coincide with the release of their debut LP Breakfast in Phantasia, the esoteric hip hop collective Clouds in a Headlock presents the Mr Blønde directed visuals for their flagship focus cut PHANTASIA’. Mellow jazzed out rhodes and a raw drum break collide to provide the buoyant soundscape of production duo Runway 45. MCs Doctor Outer, Lovecraft, and Èph weave effortlessly through the beat to deliver their rich colorful rhymes and illuminate Clouds in a Headlock’s psychedelic playground. The 12-track LP is streaming now on all major DSP. Vinyl copies are pressed on an eye-catching black and clear color-in-color variant, in limited quantities, available now via CMR in partnership with Fat Beats.

Five like-minded individuals formed a platform to escape the chaos of our current world. Clouds in a Headlock exist in a parallel dimension. In the regular world, they are school teachers, ramen chefs, or goat farmers. In Phantasia, they can exist without labels or barriers as fractals of light or sword-swinging assassins. Phantasia has no boundaries.

The soundscapes by production team Runway 45 are anchored in a rugged, yet ethereal aesthetic, weaving tapestries for the three emcees Èph, Doctor Outer, and Lovecraft to paint vivid imagery.

Lyrically the Clouds are somewhere between early Souls of Mischief, Company Flow, and the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. Breakfast in Phantasia takes the listener into a maze of gritty psychedelic loops and ninja-level wordplay.
