Crack Cloud
Vancouver-based multimedia collective Crack Cloud utilize the combined talents of various artists, filmmakers, musicians, and designers to deliver striking visuals and a core band that straddles art rock and post-punk. After an exploratory 2018 set comprised of two independently released EPs, they found their footing on 2020's visceral Pain Olympics and its 2022 follow-up, the raucous Tough Baby.
Crack Cloud was originally formed by vocalist and drummer Zach Choy and keyboardist Mohammed Ali Sharar, who wanted an outlet to distract them from their spiraling drug habits. They quickly found other individuals with drug-related issues and some who were mental health workers, all of them wanting a project that would cultivate self-betterment and collectivism; among the second wave of members were guitarist Jon Varley and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Robertson. Although the lineup was nebulous by nature, they quickly put together two EPs, Crack Cloud and Anchoring Point, which they collated into their eponymous debut album in 2018. After comprising over 20 members -- with seven of those dedicated to touring -- they began to expand on their sound and production technique ahead of 2020's cathartic Pain Olympics, their first proper full-length release. Released two years later, Crack Cloud's sophomore LP, Tough Baby, explored continuing themes of emotional evolution, healing, and resiliency.
