About Cloudland Canyon

Simon Wojan (also known for his work in King Khan & His Shrines) and Kip Uhlhorn (late of The Red Scare and Panthers) began experimenting with new ambient outlet Cloudland Canyone at the turn of the 21st century. A definitive step away from their prior work but still rooted in pushing the extremes, Canyon is heavily steeped in ’70s German krautrock influences. Their three full-lengths, REQUIEMS DER NATUR 2002-2004, SILVER TONGUED SISYPHUS and 2008’s LIE IN LIGHT, weave together dissonant, Tangerine Dream-esque hypnotics with the jazzier elements that pervade touchstone works by artists like Faust, Amon Duul, and Ash Ra Temple. Having toured globally, Cloudland Canyon has gained worldwide acclaimed for forging a middle ground between the twisted pop artistry of contemporaries like Animal Collective and the minimalist extremes of generations past.
