Welcome to ContradictingClouds.com

Thanks to all who voted for this week's Free Track. The winner is Redemption.

We experimented a lot with this song, building the intensity in the first part to a climax and then... we rip the carpet from under your feet.

Download the song now and play it to someone, then point and laugh as they really get into the groove and it drops away. (But don't despair. It comes back with a vengence!.)

Enjoy!

In June Elne had a little trip to London - and while she was there our good friends Casper Franken and Carin Stanford at Shotopop made our first ever music video, for the song Sophistry.

Now, you really should know who Casper is, since the South African music scene is littered with his art. He has directed classic videos such as Harris Tweed's "Ode to Confusion" and Chris Chameleon's "All Of Me". Last year he also directed one of the best music videos I've ever seen, Skunk Anansie's "Because Of You".

And still he's nice enough to let us harass him with crazier ideas than thought humanly possible! (Well, frankly, he helped instigate them...) So here are some behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot, to wet your appetite.

We spent the last couple of weeks back in studio, finishing off yet another rendition of our oh-so-elusive album Contradicting Clouds.

And IMHO it's sounding fantastic!

Get ready for a spine-chilling acoustic version of Daylight and two never-before-heard tracks that should blow your socks off. (As if you're wearing any...)

That is Gerhard's expression for saying, "Dude, seriously, the camera makes a noise and we're recording..."

Our not-so-new band members, Brendon (Guitar) and Matt (Bass).

Elné, miming very passionately...
