It was abundantly clear that Denver trio Cloud Catcher were onto something with their 2015 debut, Enlightened Beyond Existence (discussed here and here), and they confirmed same when I was fortunate enough to see them play at Borderland Fuzz Fiesta (review here) in February. Their upstart blend of Sabbath boogie and progressive composition is delivered with righteous vigor both live and in the studio, and today they announce that they’ve signed to French imprint Totem Cat Records and that they’ll release their second full-length, Trails of Kozmic Dust, later this year.

The album was recorded by Cody Tarbell of Slow Season following Cloud Catcher‘s Spring tour. They’ll celebrate the signing this weekend at the Denver Electric Funeral Fest by playing the first of the event’s two nights, directly under Mothership and Radio Moscow as a kind of local headliner, and have an extensive tour in the works for early in 2017 to support Trails of Kozmic Dust.

Their announcement follows:

It is with great pride that Cloud Catcher announces its partnership with French label, Totem Cat Records for the release of our second album entitled “Trails Of Kozmic Dust”.

This album is the culmination of friendship, perseverance, and the unyielding spirit of rock ‘n roll. “Trails Of Kozmic Dust” was recorded in a span of 3 days at our good friend Cody Tarbell of Slow Season fame’s house (The Cornfield) at the end of our last Spring tour. This album is raw, organic, and aggressive as there are little to no overdubs, just pure live performance at a time that we felt was right. In other words this is a pure representation of Cloud Catcher.

We are absolutely honored to have Totem Cat Records release “Trails Of Kozmic Dust” and are hoping for a later in the year release date. With that being said Cloud Catcher would like to thank the following: Cody Tarbell for believing in our music enough to let us live and record with him, Ewenn Padovan for giving us a chance to put out a record we believe in, and to you the fans for coming out to our shows, buying merch, letting us crash at your houses and surrounding us with general positivity! This is for you!

Stay HEAVY and keep on keepin’ the faith!
