Clouddead (styled as cLOUDDEAD) was an American experimental hip hop group active between 1999 and 2004 consisting of Doseone (Adam Drucker), Why? (Yoni Wolf) and Odd Nosdam (David Madson). Clouddead's sound was notoriously hard to define, and although it is undoubtedly grounded in "traditional" hip-hop, influences as varied as electronica, psychedelic music and indie rock can be heard.
Links to Peel[]
Peel played the group's debut single, And All You Can Do Is Laugh, on his BBC Radio One show in early 2001 and would play further material from the group, including two sessions on his programmes.
