Hailing from Wilmington, Delaware, The Sky Drops is comprised of Rob Montejo and Monika Bullette, and when you hear their music, it's hard to believe there's only two of them. On their web site, their music is described as a moody sonic maelstrom, and the description hits the nail on the head. I used these same two sentences a couple months ago, but they still hold true today, and now that the band’s EP, Clouds of People, has been released, I’ve had the opportunity to hear more of their maelstrom.
Comprised of five tracks, the EP gives a great impression of what Rob and Monika can do. Now Would Be, the second song on the record is one of my favorites; it opens with heavy guitar, quiets down a bit for the vocals, and livens back up for the chorus. With sleepy, dreamy vocals riding over guttural instrumentation, the song has an interesting dichotomy that's uniquely layered. In theory, you'd think the sounds would be at odds with one another, but, in actuality, you'd be wrong. The track meshes beautifully; as does the rest of the EP.
